Does this prove the NHL's guilt of double standards?

It almost seems like NHL Player Safety flips a coin whenever there is a play that needs supplemental discipline. That and the fact that superstars are given a little bit of �'leeway'' when it comes to dirty plays.

Case in point, a video that has surfaced that compares Evander Kane's recent hit on Nazem Kadri and a hit by superstar Sidney Crosby on Ryan Lindgren.

Kane was given a major penalty and a one-game suspension, while Crosby received absolutely nothing, not even a minor penalty on the ice. This brings back the debate of inconsistency and lack of logic in the suspensions given by the NHL.

You be the judge, but many are stating it's a clear double standard. It seems to prove that a person's reputation clearly weighs in the balance when the time comes to suspend a player.
