No softies by the Leafs goalie. That was the difference.

As the saying goes, "You hate him, but you'll love to have him on your team." Max Pacioretty has become a great signing by Treliving. Max has made an impact in many Leaf games, and the Leafs will need Max to do the same in the playoffs.

This has to be a penalty doesn't it?
I'm not so sure. It was almost a case of self-preservation. The guy was coming at him so fast from behind, he was ready to make Domi permanent board advertising. What potentionally happens if Domi wasn't proactive and leaves himself at that guys mercy?

Not necessarily, if an opposing players tries to run you from behind (major injury) you have right to protect yourself. What Domi did is called the Chris Chelios Special, although he's nowhere near as vicious as the nefarious Hab. Those that attempted to do that to Chelios got up with rubber knees.


I used to hate him when he played, now I respect him.

‘Let me ask you this : had Nurse seen Reeves coming at him and raised his elbow to protect himself and avoided the injury, would you think that was a penalty ? Where does the right to protect oneself start and end ?
