Yea probably not commit a charging penalty
I’ll buy that that hit is probably a penalty by the book these days for hitting the head, but that’s not a charge. The guy made a move towards him, he took two steps and made a hit. No way that’s a charge.
No matter whether Meier was hunched over, or Trouba is tall, the principle point of contact was the head. I’m not arguing it is a penalty according to the current rules, but I do believe that type of hit should be taken out of the league. Trouba seems to get away with these quite often too, and why wouldn’t he, if he isn’t penalized? But I do think more should be done to protect the long term health of players.
I like the hits, but yes, Im a bit of a dinosaur in terms of what I accept as clean in hockey, freely admit it.

NYR done here. Ok with that, would have liked to have a chance at home ice but hypothetically being in a track meet with the Devils would be fine.
