Maple Leafs Coach Craig Vents His Frustration Over Max Domi Controversy

Following Game 4, there was plenty of discourse surrounding a possible suspension or fine for Max Domi after he hit Aleksander Barkov in the numbers as time ran out. He was issued a major penalty for boarding on the play.

On Monday afternoon, the NHL's Department of Player Safety handed out some supplemental discipline to the Leafs forward for the hit.

As they have done all playoffs, the Leafs did not hold a practice on Monday, but that didn't stop Berube from discussing his displeasure with the double standard the league and officials seem to have when it comes to targeting the head and attempts to injure.

The Leafs' bench boss was specifically asked about Domi's hit on Barkov and responded very bluntly about the missed elbow to the back of the head of Mitch Marner from Dmitry Kulikov earlier in the game.

Kulikov, like Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Matthew Tkachuk, and Evan Rodrigues, escaped without so much as a minor penalty on their respective controversial plays. Meanwhile, the Leafs were penalized six times, including four in the first period of Game 4, to the Panthers' three penalties all game long. None of the Panthers have faced any supplemental discipline for head shots delivered in the series.

As the series shifts back to Toronto for Game 5 on Wednesday, all eyes will be on how the Leafs respond and if the officials finally gain control of the Panthers and their dangerous hits.
