Theyre two different scenarios. Both reprehensible actions, but Neal got off waaaaaay easy while Thornton got pretty much the max his offense could get. Not fair and certainly not for the better of the game. Had Marchands career been ended or if he had even been injured, this would have been a witch hunt for Neal, but because Marchand is lucky to not have at least a minor concussion, Neal gets a joke of a slap. Thats one of the dirtiest things I've seen in the game of hockey.
