I am not ignoring anything. The whole "slash, slash, spear" takes place within 3 seconds. It took me more than 3 seconds to write that. This is the problem with slow motion replays and allowing people to micro-analyse every frame of a play.

You can't swing your stick like a lumberjack like that especially aiming for the ankle area.
Scott was certainly an a$$ for attempting to retaliate for the earlier fight, but at that point he didn't really do anything wrong.

As soon as Scott made his threat, Kessel should have run away? That's BS. Goons should not be able to dictate how a faceoff is set up.
Would you respect Kessel more if he had stopped the faceoff to change positions or tell the refs what Scott said? Then you guys would be sitting here calling him a crybaby instead of a coward.
And I don't even like Kessel.
