I agree that the call was questionable at best and that Anderson was
brutally inconsistent on the weekend (though I didn't see it giving either
team an edge), but I think the difference between the hit Nelson received
and the one he was called for was that when he was hit, the Anchorage player
was stopped when he popped Berk up high (elbowing might have been a good
call), while Nelson was cruising when he hit back (also a pretty high hit).
