I think a lot of you guys are missing the fact that Kessel was provoking him...he was laughing at him and appeared to be runing his mouth. Id have sympathy for him if it appeared like he wanted to back off and have nothing to do with it, but Kessel said a few things to Scott before being jumped, and then after Scott was being held, slashed him a few times, THEN AFTER Scott was being held by the refs/players he went and speared him.

Kessel deserved a punch to the face.

Really ....

yup.. everyone seems to ignore the fact that kessel was goading him
- Dozzer

Scott: "You're next you little porker."

Kessel: "(frank) you"




GOADING!!!!!!!

When?
- gravyface

leading up to the faceoff, Kessel had a smirk on his face and was saying a few things...if you watch the replay it looks like right before puck drop Kessel added a "I banged your mom" type of comment in there and got jumped. He didnt just quietly deny the fight.

yup and you/leafs nation would've been all over him for that.

damn if you do damn if you don't.

it's what it now and need to wait to see what shanahan going to say about this whole mess.
- zazzle

no i wouldnt have actually.. i would of been all over scott for trying to fight kessel

what scott did was bad.. what kessel did was worse

yup.. everyone seems to ignore the fact that kessel was goading him
- Dozzer

Kessel said that Scott said he was going to jump him.... That was before all that happened.

Kessler is the biggest PU55Y in the league. What a gutless stick attack. You leafs fans have lots to be proud of today.

Kessel and Kesler morphed via a new technology to become 1 super player.

Probably because nobody expected a POS classless move like the one Scott pulled .
- .HOHO.

watch the re-play.... kessel was mouthing off to Scott and Scott barely touched him before he was jumped by two other Leafs and the wuss Kessel decided to play baseball with Scott's legs. Now that is classless.

do you not watch kessel play? he runs his mouth all the time.
- Dozzer

Oh wow, ok. Kessel's the next Kaleta is he? Sorry Ashton, Komarov, we found our new super-pest. Oh and he can score, alot, but that's not important... he'll draw penalties!

That was the first shot across the bow, keep it clean and civil, I will now start the bans.

Yeah, Scott's lucky to be alive. It's him I feel sorry for

cryin miller made marty brion look like a legit fighter

I believe more attention should be placed on Clarkson - out for 10 games and I believe forfeits his salary for that time frame as well - this will have a bigger impact on the Leafs than the 3 or 5 games that Kessel gets

As long as there is fighting in hockey, then the likes of Orr and McClaren are needed on a team to protect against the silliness that happened last nite.

This is why Carlye has both of them on the team.

And this is why the likes of Colbourne and Ashton won't be on the team

Not the smartest move on his part.

Kessel won't be suspended.

Kessel will be in Oct 1st.
