Hall's elbow was way more violent and didn't result in a suspension.

I also said that it's likely a cumulative punishment for 2 slewfoots, a headbutt and a cross-check facefirst into the ice that went unaddressed.
Don't kid yourself that Hall elbowing a nothing player like Kassian is relevant on the same tier as Tkachuk elbowing top 10 defenseman Drew Doughty. All sports leagues protect their stars. Don't be naive.
