Which is why Kessel probably won't get a suspension at all.
The whole thing went down in under 5 seconds and it was all a result of Scott going after Kessel. People might not like how Kessel defended himself but the whole thing can be summed up as Kessel defending himself against a goon.
Personally, I think it is BS that people think Kessel should have evacuated the faceoff circle because Scott told him what was going to happen. So now all people have to do to win a faceoff is say "I'm going to beat you up" and wait for the other guy to run away when the puck drops. Lame.
