Tonight in their game against the St. Louis Blues defenseman Jake McCabe embarrassed himself by dropping the gloves against Brayden Schenn.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to play more of a physical style of game this season under new head coach Craig Berube. In pursuit of this defenseman Jake McCabe decided to challenge St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn to a fight. The two dropped their gloves and after one big punch from Schenn things were over as McCabe fell to the ground and the players were separated. This is yet another embarrassing and awful moment for the Toronto Maple Leafs who have failed to live up to the expectations of Craig Berube and his preferred style of play this season.

The effort from Jake McCabe is appreciated but to be so utterly dominated in that moment by Brayden Schenn who is not a fighter is a tough moment to swallow. Despite the tough moment for Jake McCabe he might have given his team a bit of a jump as they came out flying in the next few minutes.

Maple Leafs respond strongly after embarrassing moment

After the fight, the Toronto Maple Leafs did end up getting some momentum. After good puck movement, a point shot led to a rebound from Blues goalie Jordan Binnington which Mitch Marner was able to slam home to give the Maple Leafs the lead.

At the moment the Toronto Maple Leafs have held that lead and also have a shot advantage over the St. Louis Blues at 10-3. As the game goes on it will be interesting to see if the physicality keeps up. With Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves in the lineup, it wouldn't be a surprise to see another fight before the night is done.
