The most recent comments from Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube on Max Domi will excite Toronto fans.
It won't be long before the Stanley Cup Playoffs arrive, and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi's game is rounding into form at the exact right time.
Domi scored a goal and added an assistt as part of his team's 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday night at Scotiabank Arena, drawing praise from head coach Craig Berube.
Max Domi's game has gone to another level ... He's way more aggressive. He's being the player like we want him to be, where he's in people's faces, he's disrupting things, he's using his speed. And he's a playmaker.
Playing on a line with Nick Robertson and Bobb McMann, Berube liked what he saw from the line that was led by Domi.
You get a little combination of everything there. You have some real speed on the wings, right? Robby finishes, and he finished tonight. Max made some plays.
The line had a hound mentality tonight. They were all skating, working, and in the face of the other team. They didn't give them time or space. That was the key for their line tonight.
Domi also was a force for the Leafs against the divisional foe Florida Panthers in their recent matchup, dropping the gloves against defenseman Nate Schmidt.
It's a great sign for the team that Domi is starting to get things going, as his abysmal consistency this season has been a big blemish on the team's overall performance.
The son of former Maple Leafs enforcer Tie Domi, the younger Domi is playing in his 2nd year with Toronto after signing a free agent deal in the summer of 2023.
So far this year, Domi has 28 points (6G, 22A) in 59 games played.
