Earlier this month the Boston Bruins traveled to Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs in an Atlantic Division showdown. As the Bruins have done for years they once again have a documentary series called Behind The B. The newest episode released chronicled this game and the massive brawl that broke out between the two sides.
The brawl begins after Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe shoves an unsuspecting Brad Marchand sending him flying into the boards. Marchand's teammates immediately come to his defense including star defenseman Charlie McAvoy who had some harsh words for McCabe.
As McAvoy was dealing with the crowd around McCabe, Brad Marchand was dusting himself off for a wild moment that was about to occur.
Eventually, Marchand gets back up and begins skating to the bench. It is at this point that we get a wild bleep-filled shouting bout of entertainment from Marchand.
The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are on an eventual collision course in the playoffs if things play out right down the stretch. If the two sides do end up playing one another we could see Marchand get the revenge on Jake McCabe that he promised.
In the coming days, we will all have to see if either team has a comment on the events captured while Marchand was mic'd up. For most of this season the Maple Leafs have been accused of not being tough enough. This seems to be another case where the players were unwilling to step up to a physical challenge.
