The way he fell it looked like he had a cramp, which may have actually happened, but not something Meier had any ability to cause.
I'll play the devil's advocate here, and say that it still probably hurt. That area is padded, but not nearly as heavily as the front of the knee. Plus, it was the heel of the stick that got him, based on the video. I don't think it tickled.
I just think the response from him was way over the top, and I'm definitely not convinced he didn't go to the locker room just to try to save a little face, and maybe give the NHL a reason not to slap him with a fine. Combine that with him actually grabbing the player and throwing him towards the boards, and it comes across as whiny and entitled from a player who was trying to draw a response from the official after starting the entire situation with an illegal play himself.
The officials can look at replays too, and I don't think this sequence from him is going to give them a reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.
With how far is leg is turned to push off, it was a lot closer to the front of the pad than the unprotected back

Yep, not a fun spot to get hit. I'm sure it hurt. But not even a two minute slash. And don't leave the ****ing game to sell your point. That was probably the most embarrassing embellishment of his career frankly. Usually his antics are temper tantrums and yelling at people and refs which is kind of whatever but this was a Mike-Ribiero-tier sell job and it disgusts me. Doughty can be a total chode a lot of the time but this is new territory and I hate it.
I did get hit with a mediocre shot there Tuesday night and I'm still feeling it today though, that **** stings. But I didn't "Platoon" my way to death.
Actually most of the Kings fans are reassuring it's a dive, and it's mostly non-Kings fans giving him a benefit of the doubt.
But don't let facts cloud your attempted shot, fire away!
Wow, you determine if there was pain or not sitting on your can watching the game on TV you need to market this gift you have. Amazing!!!He didnt get hit in the back of the knee, he got hit in the side and that part has protection. There was no pain, slash was very soft. Sad embellishment to put his face on the ice and pound his hands

Why pointless?There was a thread and it was locked because it was pointless, much like this one
Not European, probably not a squeak from Cherry.What are the chances Cherry calls him out tonight on CC? Less than zero?
He now has a bionic leg, we now call him the Hockey Soldier.Did he die?
Did he die?
It wasn’t a dive , he did whine like a ***** but it is exactly like getting hit in the funny bone , it goes numb for a minute . He got it rubbed off and came back . **** yall
