Justin Barron is a 22-year-old kid.
He has 100 NHL games under his belt, but he’s still learning.
Unless, of course, you want to get caught on the tracks of the Trouba Train.
First off, bad tweet!
Trouba’s job is to separate the man from the puck.
Trouba lowers the shoulder, keeps his elbow tucked in, and drives straight through Barron’s soul.
It’s not his fault that Barron dropped his head at the last possible moment.
That was a shoulder through the chest that Justin Barron invited his face to join.
With that being said, Matheson HAS to fight Trouba after the hit.
Great hit, good fight, good night.
That’s hockey, baby.
