I get people are ok with Domi going after Z but:
1) Z was never taking that fight
2) Leafs had momentum and clawed back to a 1 goal deficit
3) Max didn't even make it count. Zadorov played the next shift
4) forget Z, run Pasta

That was perhaps the most Max Domi thing ever. Take a stupid penalty that directly hurts the team but has his praises sung for fake tough guy bullshit.

Come into the 3rd down 2, without Matthews. Already killed a penalty. Get one back on a bit of a gift. Wonder if I should take a penalty 200 feet from my net and the puck

Well, everybody gets what they want. Leafs haters get to continue believing the Leafs are dead because they sucked absolute ass for 40 minutes. Leafs fans get to celebrate a glorious comeback. William Nylander fans get to post that William Nylander leads the league in 5v5 points

It's not really clear to me what the Amazon Prime people are talking about. What do you mean "they need to reimagine their identity"? Do you think this team is trying to skill its way to winning right now? What are you talking about?

The Chicago Blackhawks are in a playoff spot, which will certainly be true in two months, and Frank Nazar remains unreal. Also, play breakdowns are back. @nikitagz.bsky.social is back with Out of the Hackbox: Fool and Chariot. Check it out here:

It's so very frustrating because opponents smothering the Leafs' inability to quickstrike and counter has been a primary issue for pretty much this entire era, and every year the accepted solution to "fix the team" has somehow made them a little worse at that

Nazar's going to be a leader in the "entries leading to scoring chances" column if last night is any indication.
