Tie Domi

[Eye of Ra]

Was he just a goon or could he actually play hockey?

Why was he traded to Rangers?

He had 11, 13 and 15 goal seasons.

 

[Leafslet]

for the leafs? no. he was at certain parts of his nhl career, but on the leafs he did develop a decent role where he contributed offensively.

we also have to remember the era when he played on the leafs, the late 90s-early 00s, which was offensively stifling. so, no.

 

[Mickey Marner]

He was one of the better 4th line wingers in the league during the Quinn years, but he was still only a 4th line winger.

 

[The Iceman]

Best game Domi ever played in his life was a playoff game against NJ.

With minutes left and the game in hand, he took out Scott Neidermayer and was suspended, ending his chance at being considered seriously as a player.
He was for sure going to be a star of the game and he threw it away.

Tie could skate, hit and protect but had poor on-ice vision and shooting.

 

[LeafSteel]

One of my favourite 4th lines will always be:

Valk-MaCauley-Domi. Was very effective.

Anything Domi did of merit was wiped out for me in his latter years, when he cozied up to Tannenbaum and crossed boundaries. His arrogance and douchebaggery were staggering.

Can’t stand him since and part of why I’ve never wanted Max on the Leafs. Tie would make Paul Marner look like a choirboy by comparison.

If he put his mind to it, he could've been more productive. But using his mind was never part of his repertoire

 

[DarkKnight]

He absolutely could play, great wheels, responsible defensively, could keep plays going and his motor was perhaps higher than a Hyman, which is saying something. No real finjish, but he wasn’t simply a goon.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Underrated as a player as well as being the best pound-for-pound fighter I've ever witnessed. I've hated him ever since the Neidermeyer incident. Some things are unforgivable.

 

[Pookie]

The perpetrator of arguably the gutless cheap shots in the game.

Niedermeyer deserved every little bit of that hit

Ask Tie, he will tell ya that he was the most important guy on ice... dude has an ego the size of the ACC.

He did give out some pretty nasty cheap shots but that era of hockey was full of players that did. He could play the game though and when he kept the crazy in check was quite a valuable player.

 

[Budz22]

I’m still trying to figure out his son.

On the Neidermayer hit... he became quite valuable for the Devils.

 

[Mad hatter]

It definitely turned the series and was a stupid thing to do, but there have been much worse cheap shots then that one imho.

 

[Lightsol]

On the Neidermayer hit... he became quite valuable for the Devils.

The Devils sure as hell milked that for every point they could. Of course, I always found it funny that Nied's "serious concussion" disappeared just in time for him to start the next series...

 

[Buds17]

Safe to say a player offers at least something more if he plays just over 1000 regular season games. He was an effective enough fourth liner that obviously brought quite the physical presence.

 

[Morbo]

could never stand him.

hurt the team more than he helped it.

I can think of one Domi cheap shot that was somewhat justified.

 

[therealkoho]

I can think of one Domi cheap shot that was somewhat justified.

the whole league quietly cheered and gave Tie an "atta boy!"

 

[therealkoho]

Niedermeyer deserved every little bit of that hit

I'm thinking Pookie might've meant Neidermeyer

Who knows how hurt he was. Was there a concussion protocol and knowledge back in 2001?

Quite a few players “got their bell rung” and went back out.

I’m thinking this one

LOL at Harry Neale saying he fell all by himself.... shows you how far away from the play it was

I was never a fan
