Part of this is on the coaching staff putting Scott on right after their guy got beat down. I think a good example on how to treat a situation would be what happened between the Flames and Ottawa. Stajan, a non fighter, gets tuned up a bit. When that guy comes back McGrattan deals with it. End of story.
As screwed up as it is, there is a code and you do not do what Scott did. I don't Blame Kessel for the first slash, but once half the leafs engage Scott it really isn't necessary.
