Maple Leafs Core Defenseman Close To A Return

McCabe showed that he could provide great defensive stability in the games he has played this season. On the flipside John Klingberg has been a mess defensively and not the offensive powerhouse many had hoped he would be.
Toronto fans have welcomed this change and many of them took to social media to share their joy.
Maple Leafs Fans Rejoice At The News Of A McCabe Return
The Maple Leafs' defense has been a major point of frustration for fans this season. Most of the year and especially recently the team's defense has been well below expectations. The stretch where the defense was at its best was when Jake McCabe was playing.
Now with him potentially returning fans are getting excited.
TOR seemed to be settling well prior to McCabe's injury, which was before the F lines were fixed
4-3 W vs TBL
4-1 W vs WSH
4-1 W vs DAL
With the forward lines now rolling on all cylinders and McCabe the defensive x-factor in many people's minds returning excitement is at an all-time high.
The Leafs have had a disappointing start to their season by their standards. They are still in a playoff spot with the changes on defense and an offense that looks familiar things could be looking up.
Let's all remember that with this group a good regular season is not the goal anymore. As long as the Maple Leafs get themselves in the playoffs then the real pressure mounts for this group.
