I agree too, it wasn't a malicious hit. But most head shots aren't malicious or intentional, but they are careless. Same as here.
As for if it was Gio on Hall, well I like open ice hits in general. But based on the way the rules are currently in order to minimize concussions, it would be illegal if Gio hit Halls head as the primary point of contact, and I would be worried that he might get a suspension.
