Since when is the point of a fight to cause injuries? Fights are meant to inflict pain, not break the guys face and make him miss games.

Shin pad or not, it doesn't justify swinging your stick like that. Freak accidents have to be brought into consideration. Karlsson's achilles was a freak accident, should he go back to not using kevlar socks? Because hey, it's just a once in a million occurrence

Yeah, Kessel could tried just inflicting pain, but two handed slashes are against the rules and suspension worthy. Fighting is against the rules but you get a 5 minutes penalty
