I'll just pick on this post, because a few posters are saying the same thing. Seriously, what "physics" are you talking about? Action-reaction? Impulse? Mass transfer? The hit does not by itself cause the body to lift off. It can cause a ricochet effect, if a lightweight player (e.g. Gagner) hits a heavyweight player. Or, it can cause a forward motion in the direction of a hit, when a heavy player steamrolls another player in vulnerable position. In order for the body to get up int he air, the hitter must initiate the jump, which may occur before or after the hit itself.

Trouba absolutely was in a "jump mode". And the fact that he smirked and fist-bumped his teammate when sitting in the box, tells me he wanted to do it. I will be very surprised if he doesn't get a hearing and a game.
