Post-practice comments from Leafs forward Max Domi suggest he is planning on wreaking some havoc in Game 5 following his controversial actions at the end of Game 4.
Slapped with a $5000K fine for for his controversial hit on Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov at the end of Game 4, the 30-year-old Domi was a man of few words following the Leafs' practice on Tuesday.
"Just looking forward to the next game," said Domi when asked about his hit on Barkov.
In trying to get more out of the fiery forward, reporters asked him if he expected any emotional carryover into Game 5, to which Domi once again replied with 'just looking forward to the next game,' giving Leafs Nation the impression that at least the start of the game will be filled with emotion, hits, post-whistle scrums, and potentially some fisticuffs.
Never one to back down from a challenge, Domi, along with the rest of the Leafs, will have to be mindful of getting sucked into taking retaliatory penalties and giving the Panthers multiple early power play opportunities, just like they did in Game 4.
Despite having just 2 goals and 4 points in 10 post-season games, Domi has consistently just quietly done his job. As long as the second generation Leaf doesn't cross the line on Wednesday, he will be counted on once again to provide a spark to a team coming off of a lackluster effort in Game 4.
