So there's one thing in this nobody is talking about...

This is a PRESEASON game. Nothing on the line, and no honour to be gained by pummeling a star player. 2 guys had a fight, one guy had the worse outcome. Nothing to see here...but oh wait, let's send out a guy who is trying to make the team and knows he needs to fight someone to do it. Stupid Buffalo coach. Carlyle doesn't want to escalate this because, again, it's a preseason game, so he sends out his stars with the intention of defusing the situation. Well he didn't have to send out his top player to send that message, just a less physical skilled line. Stupid Leafs coach. Still, John Scott goes and grabs the smallest guy who is their star player in an effort to get redemption for...something, I'm still not sure what. Stupid John Scott. Then Kessel freaks out and gives him an initial slash that isn't the end of the world, but then flat out attacks him from behind with his stick. Stupid Kessel. Then Clarkson jumps over the boards to defend Kessel, which seems honourable at first, but wasn't really necessary once Scott was contained. Stupid Clarkson.

Basically, the whole thing was a display of stupidity at its finest. All for a preseason game. Well done everyone.
