That's some craziness right there. Of all the 'star' players, it seems like Kessel would be the best candidate to be picked on. He's lacking in some of the social skill department and likely couldn't talk his way out of it. I'm pretty sure guys like Stamkos and St. Louis would have been able to diffuse this kind of thing, and / or the respect level is such that it would never happen.
Still, it all stemmed from Tropp getting a concussion and I can see why Scott wanted to do something. That said I'm sure Kessel is happy to have gotten out alive!
