If the referee did not believe the elbowing minor deserved a major or match penalty, why should there be extra discipline? If the elbowing minor was indeed a major or a match, then extra punishment should be looked at. Just like a 2 minute minor for high sticking is never supplemented with discipline. If you get a major or a match penalty for a deliberate high stick to the head, then the league should and will look at further suspension. These are the rules of the NHL; it's not homerism.
Your arguments hold no water. Every slash is deliberate. Should every slashing minor be looked at for supplemental discipline because it was deliberate?
No real point though in laying out facts for you. Your emotionally charged opinions would never change no matter who or what facts are presented to you.

What are you even talking about? Tkachuk wasn't called for elbowing, the ref didn't see the play as he was turned around at the instant the elbow made contact.
Tkachuk was called for roughing for the scrum afterwards so maybe know how things played out before calling me out?
And if you've followed hockey long enough you'd know it doesn't matter what they call on the ice when it comes to supplemental discipline. It literally makes no difference if the refs missed it or not.
