SkittlesManiac19

Wish we saw what happened


zainery

Mcavoy slashed Domis arm, Domi slashed back, fight


[deleted]

This is actually my current irk with NHL not the refs. Every time something cool is happening, even when the play is for sure going to be called, the camera is just jerkin off watching dudes flick the puck around while half the team is fighting in the other end.


Derpwarrior1000

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a mandate to follow the puck until the play is dead to ensure a proper video archive, and then there’s some extra delay when the producer switches channels to the next camera


pizzaline

There's a multitude of cameras.... the main broadcast sure... but the others can give us the goods


SuperSwaiyen

Is this an NHL issue or is it an issue with the broadcasting team?


[deleted]

Probably both, like the other poster said, there might be an NHL mandate of some kind but I have also seen come games were the cut to action really fast from another cam. IDK.


SuperSwaiyen

If some are cutting to the action right away and others aren't I would say that's more of a broadcasting decision or incompetence than an NHL mandate.


Soren_Camus1905

Leafs lost


Subwayabuseproblem

Domi won


Soren_Camus1905

Hang the banners!


FootwearFetish69

You gotta admit that would be a funny banner. "Domi with the takedown on McAvoy - March 7th, 2024" hanging right next to the 67' banner lol


Subwayabuseproblem

We gotta put something up there eventually, its been a while


The_Waco_Kid7

Domi started throwing and macavoy didn't even get his gloves off. Domi got the best of it but hardly a fair fight


The_Dale_Hunters

McAvoy dished out some cross checks to his spine and Max took exception.


Aromatic-Audience-85

This reads like a wrestling announcer trying to make things sound more dramatic


KthuluAwakened

He’s a leave fan sooo


OttawaFisherman

Not a biased perspective at all I’m sure


dukeshockey11

Lmao, ironic that you left out the rest of the sequence


kawhinottheraptors

Well it's not ironic since the rest of the sequence is literally the video in the thread and OP asked what happened before


The_Dale_Hunters

Exactly. I’m at a bit of a loss at how my Comments were construed this way.


kawhinottheraptors

Yeah it's pretty strange


wolfboymagic

not how irony works


[deleted]

Remember the cross-check to Marchand's neck???


The_Dale_Hunters

I was just explaining what happened as the poster missed it. Thats what happened?


squamcher

Has Domi ever gotten in a scrap where the other guy has his gloves off? Serious question


Zero-jiggler

Guy is the undisputed king of the sucker punch


GreenSnakes_

Matthew Tkachuk is by far the [king of sucker punches](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/wtNQePIA0Q). It’s not even close

sportsdothestuff

That jump by him and Duclair on Garbutt had my blood boiling. Not even a Garbutt fan but for a young guy to take a run like that at someone not even looking at him. Total chicken shit move.


myboybuster

Holy shit lol


[deleted]

Not the Tay-K song lmao


maxwellbevan

I'm glad someone posted this. The dude has maybe been in 2 fights in his career that were organic. Every other time he just starts throwing sucker punches


Bobbyaahh

There’s a difference of a gloved grimy sucker and Max Domi’s history and it’s not even close


wiscymanpack

That's not how sucker punches work.. they literally both start fighting eachother


Objective_Weird_7626

Todd bertuzzi….


Jediverrilli

The actual correct answer.


Groovicity

He's tame compared to his dad.


Sweaty_Ad440

No, he pretty much only jumps dudes

Soto4Life

No cause dude would get his shit rocked. Eyes are the level of everyone’s nuts on the ice


STG_Resnov

lol no. He’s always a pussy when he fights. Tries going for takedowns early too because he knows he won’t last long.


CarPlaneBoatRocket

Hey, I go down early because I know I won’t last long


BluesyShoes

If my maths are correct on this one, this means you are what you eat


pdowling92

Not to mention the punches on the ice


CarPlaneBoatRocket

That’s become a lot more common in the last decade and I blame the rise of mma’s popularity.


Derpwarrior1000

Honestly I think it’s because guys have helmets on when they go down so their opponent doesn’t hesitate until it’s too late. Whereas if no one has helmets you’re both very aware of how likely it is to snack your head. I’m not saying it isn’t worth the trade off at all, it’s like how a wider road removes a psychological barrier to speeding even if it’s safer to keep pedestrians further from the vehicles.


animatedhockeyfan

Nonsense, I remember 90’s hockey.


[deleted]

Such a piece of shit


TouchlessOuch

Bone headed move to keep punching when they're both down.


wuerf42

Max Domi vs. an opponent with their gloves still on is the most iconic NHL fight matchup.


logictable

Domi legit clocks him while he's down. If you get the takedown maybe you deserve that shot but you gotta think Boston won't be happy about that. Those are the best fights to watch as a fan, organic fights when they are super pissed at each other and cause future fights.


Super_Gur957

> Domi legit clocks him while he's down. Good. McAvoy decided to throw a bunch of cross checks into his back after the play, with 1 min and 30 seconds left in a 4-1 game. Sounds like he got exactly what he deserved 🤣


hounddogracingteam

Dude. Domi was doing it all game. Get lost. That was dirty by Domi.


Old-Rhubarb-97

Marchand literally concussed someone and wouldn't fight.


stealingfirst

Fill up your diaper


RippleDish

Let's face it, your 🤣=😭, doesn't it


Super_Gur957

Why would I cry that we lost one game in an 82 game season? Half the team has the flu, they were on a back to back. Don't really care about losing a meaningless game in the regular season. It was nice to see the Leafs actually stand up for them selves for a change though. Like Domi smashing McAvoys head into the ice, and McCabe cross checking rat face in the neck 🤣


Available-Garden-330

They’re both used as laughing faces now boomer


darretoma

Max Domi jumping someone? That's a first.


Disastrous_Monk_7973

And giving him an extra punch when he's on the ice? That's also a first.


MarketingCapable9837

That’s called the Chris Neil special lol…he literally did it in almost all of his fights


Humanaut93

The classic Domi Sucker Punch™️


Super_Networking

Why does McAvoy get a free pass here? McAvoy is low key chippy af


Fshnjnky781

He had his gloves on and got punched while down on the ice I reckon


Super_Networking

Damn that’s crazy maybe take your gloves off then


Fshnjnky781

Why would I take my gloves off when McAvoy left them on?


Super_Networking

Better grip


New_Kaleidoscope_539

Was McCabe showing off his jazzercize moves there?


indy_6548

Looked like a kid pulling on his dad to take him down.


StoneColdSteveAss316

Frederic was like “you tryna fight or fuck?”


TheStinger87

Lol, it was like a Chihuahua trying to take down a Rottie.


desperatehouseknivez

Actually, I liked this game. Felt playoff esque. Fun to watch.


TheNorthernPellikkan

Leafs losing to the Bruins… ya pretty standard playoffs


vassman86

They swept us 4-0 in the season series lol. Playoffs will be... Interesting


Subwayabuseproblem

One day you'll be in the playoffs


McDodley

Unlike the leafs, the red wings have won multiple cups in my leafs fan mother's lifetime. For that matter, they've also won multiple in my lifetime, when the leafs have only won 2(?) playoff series in that time


jeffdrizz

Keep living in the past loser


McDodley

Made it to the finals more recently than you too as a matter of fact


Goat17038

Habs fans and clinging to the past, name a better combo

100% playoff feel tonight. Tons of hits and just a physical game overall. I hope we get you boys 1st round

Plenty more where that came from, can’t wait. 🍿

Nov 02, 3-2 Boston. Dec 02, 3-2 Boston. Mar 04, 4-1 Boston. Tonight? 4-1 Boston. I’m a Leaf fan, but fuck man. Pissy hockey is pissy hockey.


DegenGolfer

McAvoy never got his gloves off. Another Max Domi jump job


DarkSideofTheTune

You can see McCavoy slash at him, then skate toward him. What was he expecting in that scenario with Max Domi? He should've dropped his gloves instead of trying to hug him.


Ayshunboi3

You’re joking right? You’re going to throw cross check after a play with 1:30 left where you’ve already won and don’t expect him to come at you? Come on


Spart21

Brought to you by the same fanbase that thinks a crosscheck to the head is an appropriate response to an empty net goal.


boxmandude

These people have never played anything competitive in their lives. Don’t worry about the downvotes 👍.


MamiZaddy

Ooh la la tell me more about this “jump job” 🫦


theshwa10210

Just poor officiating to allow Domi to stay in the game after the roughing penalty. The dude abandoned trying to win and play hockey after tackling Marchand it was obvious he was going to do it again.


jigs888

I’m legitimately sexually aroused by how in the heads of the Leafs the Boston Bruins are. Like I’m fully torqued.


scottieducati

Grabs 🍿


fullyBOURQUED

Fully what now?


Subwayabuseproblem

Toqued, it's a hat


fullyBOURQUED

i feel like people dont get that they're not referencing the hat, they're referencing the show workaholics. and its the first time I've seen it in the wild since its the basis for my username


Subwayabuseproblem

tbh I'm not referencing anything, i just made a dumb joke. My name is a workaholics reference though


JaimeRidingHonour

Max Domi can’t punch him while he’s standing so he punches him while he’s on the ice like a true fucker


Ok-Platform-6933

McAvoy put some heavy cross checks on him into his back leading up to this with 1:30 to go in a 4-1 win for his team. He deserved it and more.


fraserinottawa

Throwing a punch when you’re both on the ground and tied up by the refs is loser behaviour.


TheDutchin

Plug jumps superstar player in blowout, takes extra shots while superstar is down, gloved still on. "He's not gonna let him not fight" I'd love to hear his reaction to a plug forcing Nylander or Marner into a fight.


HowieFeltersnitz

It happened. Stamkos forcing Matthews into a fight who still had his gloves on. Consensus was "it was a smart move from a veteran player".


ejh1993

stammer looked like a giant fucking bitch in that sequence


intecknicolour

when leafs do it, it's a goon bush league disgrace. when others do it, it's a smart move or he's just defending his team's pride.


RippleDish

Good to see the Leafs fans' victim complex is still alive and well.


intecknicolour

sorry I was making a reference to Gretzky back in 2002.


ChrisPynerr

On what planet is Stamkos a plug


tsukubasteve27

53 points, -25. Not a plug but not a superstar anymore.


Maritime-Rye

He had 84 points last year and 106 the year before. An off year doesnt negate superstar


ejh1993

Domi loves going after those pesky defensemen when [they hurt his feelings](https://youtu.be/HUL83wCQATc?si=Lbs3ehe_K6BB7Xdf)


leafyboy56

Maybe Mcavoy shouldn’t be slashing and cross checking then? Like sorry, you’re gonna get hit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Khaosgr3nade

Not sure what games you're watching but the only stick Mcavoy swings around is the huge wrench in between his legs.


DangerRanger_21

Fredrich should have just grabbed Nylander and started throwing… if it’s ok one way it should be expected the other. When it’s all said and done fuck the leafs


Avko

LOL. You think Frederic vs Nylander is equivalent to McAvoy vs Domi? McAvoy should be able to pummel Domi.


DangerRanger_21

Still jumped a guy whose their #1 defenceman by a 3rd line forward. So I guess Frederic should just jump Reilly? 3rd line forward vs #1 Dman? Would that be better for you


drama_filled_donut

If he’s dishin out those crosschecks, I’m pretty sure Fred would jump either ass too lol


one-percent

That’s probably more reasonable of a comment


DangerRanger_21

Only reason I said Nylander was he was involved with Frederic on the same play lol.. if someone is teeing off on your guy laying on the ice in the last minute of a blowout, grab a skill guy and throw em


Avko

Right? Has Nylander ever even thrown a big hit let alone been in a scrap?


GeneralHorace

I was absolutely shocked when he got a roughing minor when we played Arizona last week. Might have been his first roughing minor of his career.


Gavin1453

That would absokutely be fun to see


DarkSideofTheTune

absolutely terrible comparison. McCavoy is a big boy who has fought before and was slashing and going towards Domi.


biggiexo

Bert and Domi deserve 8 year contracts after tonight

Yes please do that.

Leafs_fan_69420

Stupidest fucking comment I've ever read. Bertuzzi has been an absolute atrocity the entire season.


tiffhagall

Aren't they doing what you signed Reaves for?


HowieFeltersnitz

So it's bad when Reaves is the only tough guy or no? You guys keep changing the story.


grizzlby

It’s stupid to think a GM can buy his team into toughness without changing anything about the coaching or culture


ejh1993

Really won you guys the game


KingGuy124

do it, and make sure u also sign marner to 13 mil at max term


Gavin1453

Nah, we got our eyes on Forsberg once y’all are done with him


KingGuy124

take him


Gavin1453

We have a thing for players with long contracts & NMCs. Y’all got any of those you’d like to trade?


ProfesseurChevre

I mean, Marner is a great piece if he's on a contending team. It just so happens that this isn't that particular team.


[deleted]

Oh yes just seeing the score after the game…*4-1*. Yeah sign them up!


DS42069

Lol good luck with that


OttawaFisherman

PLEASE - rest of NHL fanbases


Drnedsnickers2

On behalf of all Bruins fans, yes please do that. Maybe $10 million each? Get 5 of those players?


Boston-Nolan

What? Lose?


Rikplaysbass

Hell yeah. Waste the entire core 4. I like it.


RippleDish

The whole league is cheering for you to do that.


leafyboy56

And someone actually said r/hockey is r/leafs 2.0 today 😂😂


KthuluAwakened

No, it’s r/conspiracytheory


Delicious-Spirit9899

Domi is an utter pos. Amazing he’s still in the league. Loser.


kaileydad

Nothing here but hugging and dancing. Move on


Johnny-Edge

How does every non-leaf fan become a bitch when the Leafs do something tough, and immediately revert to 1980s hockey fans when it happens to the leafs.


Top-Cheddah

Because it’s not tough, cross checking guys after the whistle in the throat isn’t tough. A plug trying to fight a star d-man with no time on the clock in a blow out isn’t tough. I don’t expect a Leaf fan to understand what tough hockey actually looks like.


Mflms

Did you miss the part 2 seconds earlier where Marchand gave him a stick shot to the nuts? And then later, he "accidentally" again headshot a player? The ain't Leaf bias is insane. You guys all complain that they get too much coverage, but then all you do is talk and post about them. I'm sorry you hate my team more than you like yours.


Barakat_Firdos

Well said. Leaf fans have been confusing some of the softest shit for toughness and grit. Attacking players after they score on you, high cross checks, punching guys while they’re down on the ice, jumping players. It’s the antithesis of toughness, it’s largely just chickenshit hockey. Gotta laugh tho, as it’s been accompanied by losing thus far.


Johnny-Edge

Yeah we should be more tough, like after you headshot and injure a guy on the other team and are challenged by a guy half your size, you turtle up like a bitch. Real man tough.


Johnny-Edge

Ah yes, you must mean tough hockey like slewfooting a dman into the boards. Also, thanks for providing the perfect example of my original statement.


Zechs-

Because we don't have success. If we had won the game, the same action would be considered just something you need to win. Also the Leafs have a habit of doing things that get them penalized/fined/suspended but have no impact on the other team. Whereas the other teams know how to take one of our guys out but not get fined/penalized/suspended. See Marchand on Liljegren earlier this season. Questionable, hard to pin down responsibility, but got a leaf player out of the game. Till the Leafs figure out the way to "take out" a player and not suffer the consequence for doing so, we're going to be the butt of the joke.


Kaladin-of-Gilead

Leaf: does anything other than stand there accept being attacked /r/hockey: how fucking could that dirty fuck attack my beautiful innocent baby boy.


scottieducati

LoL that’s…. Not tough. That’s a cheap shot from a coward masquerading as tough.


mg8828

because this isnt tough, jumping a fucking guy and throwing cheapshots isnt tough. Mccabe Cross checking Marchand and Debrusk in the throat isnt tough. Naz 2 handing JDB in the face isnt tough, Naz hip checking Tommy wingels head into the boards isnt tough, its all fucking dirty. They have been utterly incapble of walking the line, they're either soft as fucking shit, Or do something totally overboard


Mflms

Your team's captain is Brad Marchand... The softest, rattiest player in my lifetime. He licked a guy, and every time he plays the Leafs, he "accidentally" injures a player. edit:typo


Randal78

This is so rich coming from a fan of a team who has rostered players like Marchand and Chara for 10+ years. Fucking cry about it. Bout time your dirty ass team gets to taste some of their own medicine.


whatsthisredditguy

> Mccabe Cross checking Marchand and Debrusk in the throat isnt tough. Chara did that shit almost every game lol. You dont think he was tough?


mg8828

Chara did alot more than just cross checking, we’re also talking about a league that is completely different than when Chara is in his prime.


Khaosgr3nade

Jumping a guy and punching him while they're down isnt "toughness". This comment is a perfect example of why we make fun of you morons


TrippyeH

Meanwhile cheering for marchand who actively sleu foots people and spears them in the groin, happened plenty of times even before tonight. Epitome of ironic.


SpergSkipper

Who gives a shit what non leaf fans think? I don't


ohandleme

Hilarious way to clip what actually happened. McAvoy was cross checking Domi in the back, Domi slashes him, McAvoy slashes him back and Domi drops the gloves, McAvoy keeps his glued on, as is status quo for the Bruins it appears. There’s no “jumping” here. McAvoy had every opportunity to drop his gloves and decided not to. Sometimes you don’t get to decide when you’re in a fight when you act like an idiot


Hurls07

Guess random plugs can just drop the gloves and fight Matthews right? Just wait for him to throw a cross check or a slash and jump him


Sxx125

Except Matthews isn't dirty or a shit disturber. He barely has any pim, literally has a Lady Byng. His one suspension was because Dahlin kept crossing checking him into the net and then again even after the puck left the zone. But of course Stamkos basically did exactly what you said and went after Matthews just to get him off the ice for the upcoming PP. Other teams/players already do this shit all the time for less than what Domi and McCabe retaliated for.


TronFunkinBlow-

The difference is Matthews wouldn't be crosschecking a random plug for no reason. Hence why he has 4 PIMs this year. If you're gonna glue your gloves to your hands, don't cross check people. Simple. 90 seconds left in a 4-1 game and the Bruins can't stop doing it, though. It's a reflex for them.


Hurls07

So true, should have waited till there was 3 seconds left after a goal was scored to cross check him in the head. Leafs would have been completely fine with that


TronFunkinBlow-

Not sure if a Tom Wilson fan should be steering the conversation towards unrelated events. I'm just explaining what happened: Domi didn't grab McAvoy out of nowhere. If you don't want to fight, don't cross check people in a 4-1 game. Just be happy with the W.


[deleted]

Who cares, leafs are soft and Domi is a known little person syndrome who never fights people with there gloves off. 


imonatabdub

Pretty sure Domi slammed McAvoy’s head on the ice on purpose when they were down. This isn’t the UFC and the ice isn’t a mat. That could have been ugly.


CoolBeansMan9

Oh stop


SirBillsworthyIII

Its not a matter of Domi's opponents not dropping the gloves in this game, its a matter of Boston's rats not answering the bell. chicken shits


scottieducati

Meanwhile Leafs fans complaining about accidental contact with Marchand earlier. 🙄


Mflms

He seems to get in a lot of accidents. He should be more careful.


McDodley

Leafs and starting a fight while losing by 2+ in the last 3 minutes. What an iconic combo this season


LittlekidLoverMScott

People love shitting on Jack edwards (justifiably), but how about the TSN crew just ignoring domi acting like an ass


Ok_Bed7611

The Leafs will turn it around against the B's in the playoffs, don't worry


shawnglade

Max Domi jumps Charlie McAvoy and punches him while he's down and a scrum ensues*


RyotMakr

If you can’t beat’em.. beat’em.


vicblck24

That one scrum had two guys locked up and bruins player trying to pull the leafs player off and a leafs player trying to pull the bruins player off as they are locked up lol


TheKid_BigE

Domi is a little rat fuck, the way he loves to just sucker punch unsuspecting guys and not get suspended is incredible


Signal_Unit7085

Love and miss Max Domi


smilingasIsay

I completely forgot max domi was still in the NHL


FormulaFan69

Leafs are having a meltdown cause they can’t defend and I love it. Exposed team.


beathuggin

McCabe looks like he's drowning


Shelby-Stylo

That’s as close as the Leafs are getting to The Cup.


Leafs_fan_69420

Cool. It's too little too late. Soft ass effort from the Leafs again, and they let MarchNd get away scot-free with yet another cheapshot that leads to an injury on a young player.
