Not Lindy’s first rodeo:

The 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and now the 2020s.
Shayna Goldman on the hit Jacob Trouba threw on Timo Meier in Game 7: “Borderline hits shouldn’t be acceptable because a player is able to return to play afterward or is glorified as a part of the playoff hockey environment. The victim’s positioning can’t absolve the player who initiated contact entirely, either. Maybe that was acceptable years ago, but the game has evolved and so do disciplinary systems to match it.” [The Athletic ($)]
Good news on Timo:
No update on Meier from HC Ruff. He said he’s “anticipating good news.”

He noted Meier returned to the bench and said he was OK to play during Game 7.
And added: “He looks like an old fashion hockey player.”#NJDevils
