I suspect Thronton will get a pretty stiff penalty, the optics of the events will likely force the NHL hand on that one and Thornton is an easy target.
I suspect they will go easy on Neal unfortunately. Harder player to want to suspend, and they will have the "not 100% sure there was intent" angle they can fall back on.
