I know Meier is a bit of a sneak dirty player but I think it's a reach that he did this on purpose. He's clearly just bracing for some contact and getting ready to receive the puck.
Sophisticated play by him. For those that don’t know, Sammy dumped a devs player into the boards earlier. Timo saw him coming with his head down, turned and timed it exactly so Sammy skates into his elbow. Clever plays like that make you wanna have him on your team. Definitely see why zebras didn’t call it a penalty.
Where’s the elbow? I wouldn’t call that an elbow I would call that unfortunate. The commentators made it sound worse than it was. He was trying to control the puck and anyone that has played the game is taught to keep your hands away from your body. If he had his elbow tucked in it probably would’ve been worse
Definitely intentional and knew he could get away with it by giving a reverse hit, cheeky elbow for sure. He shouldn’t have been allowed to skate off McLeod should’ve retaliated imo.
He might have actually done that purposefully, but he did it without any "elbowing motion" so its really hard to know. Might not have been intentional, but…it should be a penalty anyways. You should have to be responsible for your stick, you touch a guys face with it, its a penalty. Should be the same deal with elbows.

I do not believe this was intentional, moreover, an unintentional accident. I sure hope Samuelson is alright, however.
Get rid of everybody they make me hate hockey 59 years wasted
Сам носом налетел на оокоть.

watch at 2:00 he was looking over his left shoulder and there was no reason to have an elbow that high.
Where's Geertsen
Mr. Meier, payback will be coming soon.
It wasn't intentional
That’s either really sneaky, or unintentional. Timo’s not typically a dirty player.

Yeah he didn't do that on purpose. I'm sure he doesn't feel good about it, but it wasn't intentional.

Dirty fucking play regardless of intent. Just like a wild stick, watch your own elbow ffs.
he ran into his elbow because meier arm went forward…if intentional it would have went backward…
THAT‘S 2min FOR SLASHING BY #26 RASMUS DAHLIN ! Period. What a mf!!!
Keep your head up kid
Definitely on purpose!
Rather obvious to anyone who has ever played that Meier turned to play the puck on his backhand. At best it’s an accidental minor penalty…
Definitely unintentional
Even Flow by Pearl Jam in the background.
Reverse hit or straight on, contact with the head?
There's some Swiss cheese for you boy
