So because Kessel was provoking Scott after Scott tried to attack him, it concludes that Kessel had to have been provoking him originally? That isn't a logical argument as the situation changed the moment Scott dropped his gloves. The only way your conclusion would be true is if nothing else changed from the start to finish of the situation aside from Kessel's activity.
Also, Scott was put out there specifically to start that fight. It didn't matter if Kessel turned to him, said something or gently tapped him on the back. That fight was premeditated. That's why the coach was fined.
With that infomation, arguing "what started the fight" seems to be a moot point.
