Jacob Trouba has once again enraged the opposing teams fans on Twitter by providing us with one of the best hit of these Stanley Cup playoffs.

Late in the first period, Hurricanes rookie Seth Jarvis was looking to get a pass through to a teammate from the top of the right faceoff circle when the 6'3 Rochester native lined him up and crushed every ounce of his being,
After the hit, Jarvis did not return to the Canes' bench and would eventually not return to the game with an upper body injury. As mentioned by Ray Ferraro, Jarvis upon reaching the Hurricanes bench, slipped off his seat whilst trying to sit.

Jarvis was taken 13th overall in 2020 and is a highly touted prospect who many are calling one of the steals of his draft class.
It's a tough break for the kid, as his team eventually went on to lose 6-2 in the deciding game 7 at home. For Trouba, he is currently gaining a reputation as a guy who you need to be aware of every time you haver the puck. He's a tall physical defenceman who loves to lean into people. Sidney Crosby learned this the hard way too in round 1.
Looking at the replay in slow motion, it does appear Trouba makes head contact with the kid. The NHL has yet to release a statement about a hearing or suspension thus far.
What do you guys think?
