Jacob Trouba Fuels Rivalry by Delivering Massive Hit to Devils Star
The 2023-24 season is shaping up to see the rivalry between the Rangers and Devils intensify, as both teams set their sights on significant playoff campaigns. Notably, this competitive energy was already palpable in the pre-season.
Controversial Collision
Rangers' captain, Jacob Trouba caught the spotlight with a robust hit on Tyler Toffoli during a recent pre-season face-off.
The hit was controversial as Toffoli was unsuspecting, with his back turned when Trouba made contact. Even though the referees didn't penalize Trouba, it's evident that the Devils will not forget this incident anytime soon.
Rising Tensions and Expectations
The Devils were visibly angry, as they were sure that Trouba's action deserved a penalty. Given the aggressive stance Trouba has displayed against them over recent times, this incident is likely to escalate the rivalry even further.
Although the Rangers are showcasing their physical prowess, the Devils are gearing up to be among the league's most dynamic teams this season. With a lot of talented teams in the East, fans are in for an exhilarating season ahead.
