Jacob Trouba takes nasty fall, reportedly okay.
Up in Winnipeg, former Wolverine hockey player/budding NHL star Jacob Trouba had some unfortunate luck and took a nasty fall Friday night. As anyone can imagine, the distance his fall started from is about the worst possible; thankfully he wasn't "aided" by an opponent or anything because this might have been much worse.
He managed a thumbs up on the way off the ice and reportedly had control of all extremities through the evening, culminating in his release from the hospital at about 1:30 Eastern. Not included in the video is the Blues showing a lot of class and fans chanting his name later in the game (which they would go on to win).
Thanks for the support. If you were wondering, the boards are not edible. I'll be back soon. #gojetsgo

impressed that they got the play stopped so soon. That looked more like a doll falling between a table and a wall than a human doing something human. Glad he's ok.

Seems like it's been a rough couple days for the NHL, between the hits on Jack Johnson, Dan Boyle, Justin Schultz and Niklas Kronwall. Obviously, this thing with Trouba was definitely not a hit, but it's another guy leaving the ice on a stretcher.

I was watching this and it was a really flukey play. It's great to hear that he's ok.
