After Chicago's 5-2 win against The New York Rangers, Andreas Athanasiou is calling out Jacob Trouba.

According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Athanasiou is on record saying:

"That guy is known for hitting high, Not really worrying about the puck out there and almost trying to hurt people. That's his game; that's what he does. He's an $8-million man with zero goals, so he has to figure out how to do something when making that much. If you can't help the team, I guess you try to hurt guys on the other team.''

This is Trouba's first season as captain of The New York Rangers. In 26 games, the 28-year-old defenseman has had six points and has a sheet of -9. The Team had a respectable playoff run last year, making it all the way to the conference finals.

Trouba is starting to sound a lot more like trouble, as he has fought 3 times in his last 2 games.
