Shortly after the New York Rangers were eliminated by the Florida a discussion materialized and the panel apart the thirty-year-old New York Rangers captain, expressing that he's not only a terrible hockey player and an absolute liability to the Rangers, but explaining that due to the nature of how he plays, he is an absolute hypocrite due to his wife being a neuroscience major, which may or may not have any correlation but could certainly be an argument.
Is Trouba a bad captain? That's a question that has no concrete answer due to interpretation. Does he have some flaws that many other leaders across the National Hockey League do not possess? Absolutely!
Today however Trouba called out the podcast and their treatment of players, taking to his Twitter account to share the following.
With the news in the past ten days of the unfortunate passing of PGA Tour member Grayson Murray by suicide Trouba released a tweet Wednesday morning with stats that indicate the rate of suicide has doubled over the last twenty years. In the same tweet he called out Ryan Whitney, Pasha Eshghi and the rest of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, which was well within his right and the appropriate thing to do given the circumstances. Good for the New York Rangers captain for sticking up for what he strongly believes in and taking a stand that bullying in part is a factor in suicide as a hole.
