Alex Tuch Gets Dropped By Jake McCabe, Then Gets An Instigator Penalty

up ahead for Tuck and Mloud and Byum. That’s turned aside on a good stop by Primo. And now we’ve got McCabe and Tuck after a hit of Byum. And a knockdown by McCabe who’s been fired up throughout this first period. McCabe’s had a burn saddle the entire game. He’s been at it with the officials. He was frustrated with an earlier penalty. Good hard hit here and a reaction and just able to jump on Tuck and gets three or four hard hits in. Here’s the play coming back. Tucks in the feet and a hard hit that gets Byum. The reaction of Tuck. I don’t think he expected the gloves to come off for McCabe. Looks like contact on the shoulder, contact right on the chin, and down he went. The calls on the play. Toronto number 22 has 5 minutes for fighting. Uh Buffalo number 89 has two minutes for instigating, five minutes for fighting and a misconduct. Shawn will allow a five on four power play for two minutes. So he didn’t call at all on the So look at that and said that was a legal hit and that sure won’t make Lindy Ruff feel any bit better. And boy, you talk about for Alex Tuck, not only does he get the 17 minutes, but he didn’t get the best of that fight at all. So after looking at that hit, they determined that that wasn’t a penalty. And then Tuck in response to seeing his partner, I don’t know how you get t the extra on that one as the gloves that came off first were McKay.

Watch as things get chippy between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres, as Jake McCabe blasts Bowen Byram with a huge hit, prompting Alex Tuch to drop the gloves only to get slapped with a penalty for instigating.

  9. Fight was awkward from the get go… Tuch has decent fighting skills for todays gsme but man he didn’t use them here. Lucky he didn’t get seriously hurt !

  37. Refs are such a joke, McCabe fully aims for a players head, gives him a fighting penalty, gives the team with two newly concussed players more penalty minutes
