With the vibes high in Toronto, a recent video has emerged of Max Domi chirping his father and long-time Leafs legend, Tie Domi, in first skate in 4 years.

Things have been a little lighter in Toronto with the Maple Leafs having strung together a couple of wins in a row, while also extending their unbeaten run in regulation to 5 games along the way.
Auston Matthews looks to be turning a corner after a quiet start with 8 points in his last 3 games, which also includes a hat-trick against the Winnipeg Jets. His linemate, Max Domi, has also been playing a lot better since the two of them were reunited, collecting 6 points in his last 5 games.
A more free and lighter version of Domi is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Maple Leafs, who would love nothing more than to have the veteran producing and feeling confident in his spot in the top-6.
With the vibes being high, Domi posted a video on instagram of him chirping - and commentating - on his father and longtime Leafs legend, Tie Domi. In what appeared to be a beer league game, Tie, jumped on the ice for the first time in 4 years, and it was made all the better with Max throwing some friendly chirps his way.
4 years of not skating and he is back. Look at that bucket. He wants the puck, bang, what a move. Shoot it! That was a nice pass, I'll give him that, I'll give him that.
Tie came out with an old school helmet and looked pretty good for a 56-year-old retired NHL player, who hasn't skated in 4 years. He made a nice move to get into the slot, before turning all the way back, and coming back into the zone with some speed and trying to make a wrap-around feed to the front of the net.
Tie Domi will always be revered as a franchise icon for the way he played throughout his 12-year tenure with the Maple Leafs. The former 2nd round pick accumulated 2,265 PIMs in just 777 games in Toronto to go along with 196 points.
As for Max, he will look to get back on the scoresheet tomorrow night when the Leafs visit the New York Islanders as they hunt for their third straight victory.
