Jacob Trouba Takes Accountability Like A True Captain

"The play obviously can't happen. It was 100% accidental. At the time, I was shocked it happened. I immediately said, ‘I apologize. I didn't have any intention of doing that.' I felt like my hand was pushed and I was kind of off balance, so I apologized right away. That was kind of the end of it then. Then after the game, I saw a video of it, and it doesn't look good. It's not an excusable thing."

"I don't pay that much attention to it. I stay off social media as much as I can. It's just kind of how I play the game. That play was dirty. It can't happen, but the hitting and stuff, that's just how I play the game. I don't think those are dirty. I don't mind what people think of me. I don't put too much thought into what people think of me that don't really know me, to be honest with you. It is what it is."
