It sounds like Kessel is the only stupid one here, but I'd suggest you refrain from calling people stupid as a crutch instead of expressing yourself properly.
I don't so much mean Kessel obviously said "hey let's fight!" but rather, he was chirping at a known goon, took a swipe, and then expected what to happen?
I'm not saying Scott is blameless, I'm simply suggesting that those who believe Kessel is blameless and was running for his life aren't really being honest concerning the situation. So in this sense, I agree with you based on the idea that Kessel obviously didn't say "let's fight", but he HAD to know what was going to happen, as did Carlyle if we're to believe Scott had made it very clear what his intentions were beforehand.

Kessel didn't instigate a fight. All reports are that Scott told him he was going to jump him, which, shockingly, drew a response.
I don't even like Kessel, and I hate the Leafs, but your line of thinking bears no resemblance to what actually happened.
