Scott told kessel he was going to jump him. if he doesnt say that, then the stick swinging wouldnt have happened.

The axe chops to the ankles were pretty bad, but it was the spear at the end that should get him suspended.

With the focus shifted back to Divisional standings this seems like their MO to qualify for the Playoffs, and once in anything can happen seems to be their thinking.

I can see Kessel getting suspended for his gutless spear at the end of the brawl.

A fight between Devane 6'5" and Tropp 6' ...where Tropp went down with Devane on top of him and Tropp hit his head on the ice and was dazed was the catalyst.

Apparently Devane turned down a fight with Scott earlier, but accepted the fight invite from Tropp.

Meh when players of this nature get together ,stupid stuff sometimes happens .Kessel is fine and will play on the top line making millions ,Scott will go back to being the 2 min a night goon barely holding on to his job in the nhl

that'd be pretty hard to do.

Just watched the "line brawl" and if Kessel keeps his hands to himself Scott would not have started swinging. That is unless there was something else that happened before.

Still don't like the two handed chops tot he ankles and then well after the melee when Scott has tied up Kessel comes in and spears him like a coward.

You might want to watch it again. If Scott doesn't jump Kessel, the fight doesn't happen.

How you can find blame with anyone other than Scott for what happened is mind boggling.

that'd be pretty hard to do.

Well played sir

Does not matter. It is Kessel and Clarkson who are at risk of being suspended. Scott did his job, perhaps really, really well.

I like him but whenever a guy like JGP gets a punch in the head from him and takes a penality. For getting into a shoving match,with Kadri you have to wonder if he is doing this with little too much vigor so far.

the only part I dont understand is why Kessel put his hand on Scotts arm...just before it went to hell

I just re watched that melee a couple times to see exactly what happened.

I didnt see Clarkson punch him in the head

I listened to the game on the radio ,so maybe iam off here sorry .But i heard it was between JGP and Kadri ,then I heard Clarkson getting involved and taking a penality

Clarkson is in there why though ??Its JGP vrs Kadri

Well just before Clarkson got there....its was 2 sens on Kadri. From what the announcers were saying...clarkson was trying to remove JGP helmet...so Kardi could fight him they said.

whatever the reason...its good to know Clarkson will stick up for any teamates...whether its JGP or Scott. reminds me of Roberts

Again didnt see the game ,this is what happens when you homers broadcasting on the radio you really dont get a clear picture

Scott did his job? Nope.

FYI puck hasn't dropped yet, that's a suspension.

“@darenmillard: No“@jimmytee22: @darenmillard @MikeInBuffalo was the puck even dropped?””

That's what sparked the fight.........if Kessel does not do that, neither he or Clarkson get suspended.

That's not true.... Scott told kessel he was going to jump him and Phil pushed him. Get your facts straight

I've never seen anything like your aversion to the truth/to logic... on pretty much every subject. It's amazing

I have watched that part over and over, and it doesnt look like a move of aggression at that point. It looks like he is nudging him to say something...probably like... please dont hurt me. Scott takes it as a sign Kessel wants to go. kessel then is startled and goes nuts.

I am sure Kessel did not expect Scott to come at him at all. Same with Carlyle, he said thats why he put him out there.

So you're claiming Scott told Kessel that he's going to fight him, and then Kessel nudges him which Scott takes as the bell ringing, and then you say Kessel did not expect Scott to do exactly what he had just said he'd do. Should he have thought that Scott was going to score a Hatrick?

right....the play hadnt started yet. its pretty obvious kessel did not expect him to start fighting then and there. It just looks like Kessel turns to say something to him, whatever it might be.

6 emotions... really?
