Leafs forward Wayne Simmonds TKO's Michael Pezzetta in what could be his last game as a leaf

In potentially his final home game, possibly even the final game of his career, Simmonds had an opportunity to do what he does best against the Leafs' forever rival, the Montreal Canadiens. In the dying minutes of the first period, Simmonds challenged Habs forward Michael Pezzetta, and once again proved his reputation of the league's best fighter correct with a KO win.

Simmonds was quickly able to get a grip against Pezzetta and knock him off balance, and began feeding him punches until Pezzetta gave up.

The Toronto crowd gave their hometown enforcer an incredible ovation during and after the fight, honouring the last time they'll see the event. Simmonds quickly became a fan favourite in Toronto, being a blue-collar Scarborough native who was proud of representing the Leafs. He would do anything for the team, and tonight, Leaf fans were able to thank him for it.
