Right, which is why I said it is a moot point.
There was a fight. The Sabres sent out their goon line and the Leafs sent out their scoring line because they did not want to have a 3rd period blood bath. The Sabres didn't get the message and Scott continued on as planned.
As plausible as it is that Kessel said "hey, lets fight" he could have also said "hey, lets not fight - we aren't fighters over here". Either way it doesn't matter because the decision was made before Kessel even got on the ice. Hence the fine to the Sabres.
