You can also look at it a third way. Kessel used his stick to keep Scott at bay and avoid getting his ass kicked. Your first angle is absurd, you're attempting to paint Kessel as the instigator? Hilarious.
Guess what else you don't do in hockey. Go after guys who don't fight, don't want to fight and have no reason to fight. Especially if you're a goon who serves no purpose but to fight.

This is exactly my point, you're defending Kessel by condemning Scott because he 'broke the code' and went after a guy who doesn't fight. Kessel used his stick as a weapon. That's against the code, and against the actual RULES (which what Scott did is not).
The point that you can't seem to grasp is that Scott is a bad dude, he shouldn't be playing the game, he's a waste, BUT KESSEL USED HIS STICK AS A WEAPON. It doesn't matter if Scott is the Devil, you don't use your stick as a weapon in hockey. You're defending Kessel as some helpless kid with defended himself the only way he knew how, I'm saying they should experience the repercussions of their actions. Kessel should be suspended, and seeing as Scott broke the code, he should atone for what he's done by fighting a guy his own size. It's simple.
Quit defending the use of a stick as a weapon, it's probably one of the most disgusting and cowardly acts in hockey. It's not even comparable to going after a smaller guy than you. You're being absolutely ridiculous.
