Because it's impossible for something to hurt so much that you think you're injured but after a moment or two you realize you're not. This has never happened to anyone ever in the history of human existence.

Except it shouldn’t be a major whatsoever. A minor at most but even that’s arguable. Meier has him lined up for a clean hit and does stick his leg out or change his angle at all. The knee on knee contact was caused by Necas.
Hits are always the responsibility of the hitter

Canes have been diving and embellishing since the early to mid 00s. Staal, Cole Jokinen, and Skinner come to mind but there were definitely others

lol no they aren’t and there’s literally parts of the rule book that says that. If the hitter is doing everything he’s supposed to do and player getting hit puts himself in a bad spot that the hitter can’t it’s not on the hitter.

I'm just thankful Necas is alive. He was rolling around on the ice for a few minutes, went to the lockerroom and immediately recovered once the major was announced. Miracles do happen, thankfully!

Leads with the knee, major penalty. Where‘s the news?
Was it on purpose? Probably not.
Did it hurt? Hell yeah.
Luckily no injury to Necas. Meier needs to learn to check better.

Devils probably didn't deserve to win the game, because Carolina was the better team. Yet the score was 2-2 with under 10mins to go, and it was a winnable game. That call changed everything.

I really don’t understand why seemingly all of this board thinks that if a player returns to a game after showing significant pain that they were a faker.
How many times have you seen a player get attended to on the ice after blocking a shot but return to the game later on? It happens many, many times every season. Are they all faking too?
Regardless of what you all feel about the intentions of the hit and the resulting penalty, it’s so f***ing ignorant to just call the guy a “coward” because he returned after taking knee on knee contact. Like use your brains. You don’t think a play like that would cause significant pain?
Maybe it’s time for you all to get off your couches and do something physical yourselves.

If you watch that hit, see how Necas knee bends and then say it was a dive or a sell I can assure you that you have never taken a shot like that in your life. Yku don’t immediately know you’re ok when you get hit like that.
Not hit him knee on knee. Lead with his upper body.

I think it was a questionable hit with an unfortunate result, but I don't think it was worth a major. Maybe a minor at most.
But then the refs called a minor against Haula's headshot that definitely should have been a major, so it all evens out

Honestly given the speed of the game there's nothing.. I don't think he should be suspended or anything but . that doesn't make the hit legal. Sucks.. Sometime you put yourself in a bad position. but First contact was the knee to the knee that's not legal.

He does. And if Necas doesn't move at the last second the first contact would've been Meier's shoulder. It is a knee on knee but there's not much Timo could've done to avoid it. Absolutely not a major penalty given how it occurred. A minor, sure whatever.
It was about 20 seconds after the major was called that he came running (!) back to ensure he could start the next shift. The whole timing was weird

Funny how they went back to call it a major but were fine with it live. If you're going to scrutinize hits like they do offside goals now then have fun. Timo also led with his shoulder first before Necas thought he'd do some Spiderman shit to get out of the way
