"Scum. Absolute loser move", "Learning from Trouba": Red Wings fans angry at Trevor Zegras for head hit on Michael Rasmussen

Detroit Red Wings fans on social media expressed their frustration with Ducks' Trevor Zegras after a hit on Michael Rasmussen during Sunday's game.

In the second period, Trevor Zegras elbowed Rasmussen in the head, causing the Red Wings center to not return to the ice. Fans were outraged by the incident, particularly because the play did not result in a penalty.

There are now discussions about potential disciplinary actions from the NHL against Trevor Zegras. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their reactions.

One said:

"Scum. Absolute loser move."

Another chimed in:

"Zegras learning from Trouba"

Here are some of the other top reactions on X:

"No call on the hit, but offsetting roughing penalties? The refs are really losing control of this game," a third fan opined.

"I have no idea what's a clean hit or not anymore, but I hope Rasmussen will be alright. Blows to the head are no joke," one X user said.

"So……nobody going to retaliate? The NHL needs to bring back some of the 80’s style goons. Only way pieces of shit will learn not to pull that bullshit. His head would be in a f’ing swivel for every one of his shifts," posted another.

"This play is the exact reason people complain about the officiating in the NHL. I can understand maybe they miss it in real time but how is no call made after the replay is looked at? That hit was way late and clearly targeting the head. Suspension should be incoming too," another said.
