Even if this were true, it changes nothing as far as him being on the hook for any discipline. The player throwing the check is generally responsible to make sure the check is clean, this includes not "missing" a check and clipping someone in a vulnerable position.
To be clear, I don't think Hall went out with a blatant knee on knee, but he put himself in the position that it was the only way that hit could have unfolded so in the end it really doesn't matter what his intent was, dirty hit or not it was a bad hit.
