Meier wasn't bent over tying his skates, he was upright enough he didn't have to make the principal target the head. But he chose to. He saw a vulnerable player and decided to blow him up, head first.
Hopefully one day the NHL will get serious about head shots and concussions.

It would have been impossible to make contact with any other part, Meier was bent over leading with his head. Trouba would have had to take him out at the knees. It's a borderline hit but I'm fine with it not being a penalty.
I'm not annoyed that I'm even defending that POS.
