Tensions are boiling over after Game 2 of the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa Senators playoff series, and Max Domi is at the center of the controversy. In a chaotic finish that saw the Leafs take a 2-0 series lead, Domi was involved in several questionable plays, including a late hit and alleged unsportsmanlike conduct, drawing the ire of Ottawa’s captain, Brady Tkachuk.
Tkachuk didn’t hold back in the postgame presser, slamming the officiating and calling for accountability. “We’re not going to stand by and let that kind of stuff slide,” he said. “I’ll be speaking with the NHLOA. This isn’t just about one game—it’s about the integrity of the sport.”
Sources close to the situation indicate that the Senators organization is formally reviewing several clips and could file a complaint to the league. The NHL has yet to comment, but the possibility of supplemental discipline looms over Domi as the series shifts to Ottawa for Game 3.
With rising animosity between these two rivals, expect fireworks in the next matchup. The spotlight will now be on the referees—and whether the league will respond to the growing outcry from Tkachuk and Senators fans.
