New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba made a powerful statement in response to a controversial segment on the popular hockey podcast, "Spittin' Chiclets».
The comment crossed a line by critiquing his play during the Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Florida Panthers.
During the segment, producer Pasha Eshghi brought up Trouba's charity work and his wife, Kelly, while criticizing his performance against the Panthers in the series, which the Rangers lost in six games.
Eshghi suggested that Trouba should learn about the dangers of concussions from his wife, who is a neuroscience major, before engaging in physical play on the ice.
Trouba and Kelly founded the Trouba Creative Expression Arts Program, which provides art services to adults with epilepsy and seizures.
Trouba didn't mince words when he responded, blasting the producer and defending his charity.
