Major call was fine, but mostly just bad luck.
Necas didn't miss a shift, thankfully

Necas came back and played on the major
Necas was down like his season was over. Once they went back and gave a major and a game he came running back and didn’t miss a shift… bs

That's unfortunate, with the way he's playing right now the Canes would probably be better off without him in the lineup.

Refs didn’t call any penalty on it and play kept going. Necas laid on the Ice for a couple minutes so they decided to go back and call a major. Necas was fine and ready to go before the puck had been dropped again.
2 minute penalty at most. Doesn’t stick his leg out. Lined up the body and still makes contact with the body but also quite a bit of knee contact because Necas tried to jump out of the way last second.

His knee sure looked like it bent all funny- either he shifted last sec or he’s gonna be feeling that for a bit.
Meier’s knee was ahead of his shoulders, don’t be dumb like that, is my take. It’s dangerous as shit, totally accidental it seems, but I’m fine with erring on the side of “f*** that, get out.”

His knee was in a completely normal position. The only reason for that much knee contact was because Necas tried to jump out of the way last second.

Shouldn't have even been a penalty. Necas tried to jump away from the hit and that's why there was leg contact, and he was back on the ice less than 2 minutes later.
Trash officiating to retroactively call a major here when there was no call on the play.

That was a super awkward hit for all involved. Lucky that neither were seriously injured.

People always wanna blame the other dude for trying to avoid the hit, like he’s supposed to just see a shoulder and eat it. Nah, he tried to avoid it like players do, and knees knocked because look how friggin wide Meier’s stance was goin in.

This was probably the weirdest thing about how it went down.
Like, they didn't even think it was a penalty at first but then Necas was down for a bit and it's like they though, "oh, we should call something"
kinda just unfortunate.
I mean I’m not sure what else is Meier is supposed to do there. Meier leans in with his shoulder and is in an upright posture. Necas tries to evade him with an inside cut instinctively.
A lot of these knee on knees are pretty much the same. it’s all literally timing and positioning.

Devils should learn to fall and roll around if they play Carolina come April, clearly the refs bought that

Between this and the Tkachuk dive the NHL's officials need improvement on handling this situation.

Meier’s stance was completely normal. That’s how hockey players stand. In fact the leg that made contact was more tucked in than his other leg. There’s not a single thing he can do.

Necas was back on his next shift during that major PP.... Yeah. That was a sell.
And of course they scored on that PP for the GWG.

Absolutely pathetic behavior imo. Great culture they're fostering down there.
Wasn't even a dirty hit.

And then Necas was perfectly fine again before the play resumed.

When you can't contribute on the scoreboard, rolling around the ice like you got shot to draw a bogus major is the way to go

Should we expect a Haula "boards" Orlov too from a Canes fan?

didn’t realize Necas was a coward like that
Which is 100% if it were the linesman caught it and asked it's also allowed on high sticks but they aren't allowed to blow the play dead
