Jacob Trouba - Team USA

[Nasty Nate]

Anyone know why Jacob Trouba has not been dressed last couple Team USA games? Is it injury or does the U.S. coaching staff think he's too undisciplined and doesn't fit into Team USA's style?

I read it was injury

If its injury Trouba should be returned to America asap to begin rehab. Jets can't afford to lose him for more than a handful of games next year.  Perhaps its not too late to call up Big Buff instead?

Dennis Beyak just stated Trouba has returned to Winnipeg!

Yeah. I read somewhere that it has something to do with the injury he suffered at the end of the season when he took a shot in the face against Calgary but I don't know if that's true or not.

[Goalie]

didn't he take a puck to the throat area in that last game vs calgary, thought it had something to do with that. Nothing overly serious i dont think, should be good to go by time camp rolls around, keep in mind here that the USA absolutely have sucked and crapped the bed at the WHC so really they got nothing to play for so if a guy like trouba is even injured a tiny bit, its best to be cautious and send him home.
