The first slash can be considered defending himself but it is foolish to believe that the second slash and the spear had anything to do with defending himself.

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.

I think in that situation Kessel knew what was going on. It's wasn't a mind game and it was only a preseason game.
