"One of the big reasons why Max has been so great, is because he's looking a lot like Tie. For those Leafs fans over 30-years-old, you have found memories of Max's dad fighting everyone and anyone in the NHL. Regardless of their height or weight, Tie would drop the gloves with anyone who taunted him, or just looked at him funny."
"During the Leafs 4-1 win against the Florida Panthers last week, Max fought Aaron Ekblad who is 6-foot-4, 220 pounds. He followed that tilt up with another battle against someone much bigger than him, going toe-to-toe versus Marcus Pettersson, who's 6-foot-5. The Leafs don't have a ton of toughness on their team so it's nice that Domi has stepped up, living up to his last name, over the past few games and isn't afraid to fight."
Max Domi started the season looking lost but has been exceptional recently after moving to the top line. He mirrors his father Tie in size and aggressive mentality, standing 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds with a bulldog approach. Domi has fought larger opponents such as Aaron Ekblad and Marcus Pettersson, adding toughness to a Leafs roster that lacks grit. More importantly, his playmaking beside Auston Matthews has produced six assists and two goals in his last nine games, helping Matthews' scoring and securing Domi's spot on the first line under coach Craig Berube.
