This is what happens when the NHL becomes all speed and skill and no tenacity, grit or violent edge. These kids aren't taught to take and receive hits and maintain awareness when carrying the puck or handling it. They skate around admiring their passes and stick-handling and then get creamed. It's not the checking/hitting players responsibility to let you look up first. If you are playing the puck most often you are eligible to be checked. Act accordingly. Kronwall used to do this all the time defensively and everyone saw it coming and would literally just dump the puck to avoid it. Now players just look down or keep skating as if they have impunity and then predictably so get lit up.
Whoever thinks this is a dirty hit is SOFT… stop trying and hoping for a SISSIFIED NHL… it’s the NHL… big hits are part of the game this guy needs to look where he’s skating. Stop trying to make this beautiful sport SOFT.
Big hit. Looks like initial contact was to the head. Barron was leaning back with his gead down. Should have been 5 and a game. Barron learned a tough lesson on that one. 10 years ago this was a clean hit. Things change

The Flying Elbow Trouba. Not sure how he gets away with it so many times. Always launching an elbow cause it does the most damage.
