I think Trouba did a great job at trying to keep the hit as clean as possible while not holding back. Almost a hit that should be used as an example of what a good hockey hit is if a player is in that position.

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but despite my earlier criticism, I do agree that Trouba likely did try to keep it cleanish at the very least.
I'm more in the camp that these should be called more like highsticking, penalized even when there's clearly no malice.
