Domi appreciation thread (is there one?)

[leafsfan5]

With Domi you'll get the bad like some stupid penalties and the occasional breakdown, but you also get the good of chance creation and solid production

This team needs the trade-off because almost no one else is producing

 

[mapleleaf979]

If we didnt have Domi, the face washing all series from Marchand on every single Leaf player would get old. Domi can be a liability when he takes stupid penalties. That cross check was a stupid decision. Overall, Leafs need his jam or grit . Also he is decent playmaker in the top 9.

Series would be over right now if we didn't have domi. I will probably stop watching as much if they don't bring him back. We don't win game 2 without domes

What a great game by Domi tonight. Won the faceoff to set up the initial goal and made good plays all game. Domi is the wood that keeps the fire burning for this team this post season

Buddy, shoot the puck or at least make it look like you might.

Yeah he was doing his Marner impression a few times tonight. Both need to shoot the puck a lot more often but Domi had a good game overall!

Nah you see he was selling pass the whole way, but he knew Swayman would think he was actually going to shoot, so he passed instead.

Unfortunately Swayman knew that Domi knew that Swayman knew that Domi...

... Well it worked well enough to confuse Bert anyway.

He won most of his face-offs tonight.

Excellent game over all.
Marner mostly gives the impression he may shoot and then passes, how Domi carries the puck in front of him he’s not selling a shot.

That’s key for today.

Agreed Domi has been excellent! physical, excellent faceoffs, playing the difficult center position... and for just 3.5 million!

Not to mention look at his passing ability! Not sure who we can compare Domi top... if Marner is Gretzky what can you say Domi is if he was much more dangerous a passer this year? And with only a fraction of mins with the leagues best goal scorer!

Domi 5vs5:
36 assists
206 mins with Matthews

Marner 5vs5:
29 assists
720 mins with Matthews

I think Domi earned a re-signing tonight depending on the cap hit. He's got a lot of utility being able to switch from wing to center on any of the top 9 lines, while also bringing grit. He's gotta work on his shot though cause he's way too predictable on 2 on 1 rushes where there's almost a zero percent chance he shoots it.

 

[Gabriel426]

Domi will stay as long as Leafs wants him.
He just love being a Leafs and would mind the spotlight.
Bert will be interesting but love him to stay too.

He said "if Marner is Gretzky"

Lawrdy lawrd what is happening.

It's an inside joke at this point not an actual comparison

 

[Ducer]

How many months did it take Keefe to finally put Domi at center during the season I thought he was a bust.

 

[1specter]

Guy likes the pressure. Having to play 1C in a pinch at this time of year is insane, but he looked super comfortable out there.

 

[The Shadow]

3 Domis for 1 Marner

Marner makes way too much per year

Yeah I think a re-sign is inevitable. Lots of red flags in this guys career though, bouncing around from a bunch of teams.
Contract needs to be of shorter term to keep him hungry here.

I wanted no part of him but he’s turned out way better than I imagined. I definitely got that one wrong.

I would also say that I don't think there was a long list of people wanting the re-sign after Game 4, either. He was hurting us at first, fine at other times, but nothing really great. Last night? He was very good. That Domi I'd like on my team all the time, though yes, dude needs to at least make it look like he's going to shoot. Especially when the 2 on 1 pass is so long that most goalies are getting across even if they are thinking he'll shoot.

 

[WillyC]

I really want Max to finish his career in Toronto… He wants to win here and bleeds blue and white.

I hope they offer him a fair deal and don’t put an insulting offer as a take it or leave it deal.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Depending on cap hit he will be back. He plays better in big games and brings playoff Moxy, plus he hates Marchand.

 

[Tak7]

I would hope / assume that Treliving has already had conversations with Domi's camp about an extension - there should be serious consideration into bringing him back. The guy is a gamer, and he also speaks really well with the right sort of attitude; have really enjoyed his media avails during the playoffs

Amazing game but SHOOOOOOOOOOOT the puck please
