What's going to damn Kessell is that his first slash, fine, but then Scott basically gets tied up and Kessel does another series of slashes. Then he skates back in later and throws a spear.
The first slash fine, you can argue that he was protecting himself. But there was no need for any additional stickwork.
The NHL isn't going to look kindly on lumberjack swings.
