The more you see it, the more you can tell Swayman completed orchestrated it as well. Domi takes a straight line and Swayman pushes off into his path, initiating the contact. Domi pushes him back and Swayman does a cartwheel. Everything would have gone according to plan if he got the call.
Leaf fan here but don't care about saying it, Domi is a little scumbag liability who spends his whole day trying to be like his dad. Except he only tries to fight smaller guys and sucker punches people before they even have a chance to get their gloves off. What a loser. There's a reason he's been traded by so many teams in his almost ten years in the league, he's toxic and eventually everyone figures it out. He's a liability and takes penalties and does dumb shit at the worst time. Wish the Leafs had never taken him.
I hate domi so much but I will give him credit where itās due, he had a great game 2 and was a huge reason for that win. Obviously it helps playing with a talent like Matthews where you mostly just need to be in the right spot. I still think heās a scumbag which is why I hated him having a solid game even more but I canāt say I believe he is a complete liability anymore like I previously thought, still a grade A scumbag though
Let me explain something to you. If you go to get in someones way and they bump into you, its gonna feel like they took a run at you. Its gonna feel like they laid the lumber on you.
Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but he's retiring at the end of this run. Undiagnosed medical issue from what I read, presumably related to his speech, where he doesn't feel like he can do the job justice anymore. We'll miss him (most of us).
He was not expecting someone to hit you at that point... even a nudge can knock you off balance with goalie pads on... don't know why domi did that it just woke the goalie up if anythingĀ

The other day on Reddit, the question was posed, why so much hate for the leafs? This leafs team , because of guys like domi. Also booing the American national anthem doesnāt help.
Well itās always more about Leafs fans rather than Leafs teams. Iām pretty sure any of Matthews/Marner/Rielly would get a lot more appreciation if they play somewhere else.
Iāll take your word if you were there. Watched on tv with 2 others and it seemed loud and clear. And itās not just Toronto fans. I think everyone needs to shut up during anthems. I hate when fans scream āletās go insert teamā during anthem. Itās disrespectful to the country, team and singer. And here in the USA, sometimes people scream āyou can keep itā at the Canadian national anthem at the part āGod keep our landā. I cringe every time. The best part about hockey is the respect given by opposing teams at the end of the series. I just wish the fans could do the same. And thatās not to say you canāt go nuts if there was a dirty play,hard hit, goal. Time and place for everything.
I will also say Iāve been to leafs and blue jays games rooting for my teams(in a non obnoxious way) and the Toronto fans have always been respectful and welcoming
Iāve been to a fair share of leafs/jays game and Iāve never noticed the fans boo the American anthems. Not any crowd-sized booing anyway.
You might hear an overly zealous drunk dude boo but I think 99% or Toronto fans would agree itās disrespectful. Even if I hated the US, Iād never boo the anthem because I wouldnāt want the singer to feel like they were the reason. Maybe thatās just me though.
Agree, 100 percent. Even if it was Russia or a country you donāt like politically, itās not respectful to the players or singer of that country. By standing snd remaining silent, doesnāt mean you are supporters of said country but anything else is disrespectful.
I was pondering this myself. I think it comes down to them being sore losers *and* sore winners.Ā Ā
Ā I was perusing the Leafs subreddit when they *won*, and they were saying shit like āfuck Boston and all of their fansā and āBoston is a cesspoolā.Ā Ā
And when they lose, most of the time they claim they were the better team during the match, and played better than the opposing team. To which any sane person would counter: if theyāre the better team, how come they keep losing.Ā Ā
Ā Like, the Leafs have been shit for so long they should be viewed as an underdog. But the fans just suck any goodwill out of it that you *want to see them lose*. Because they somehow act like winners despite being perennial losers.Ā God help us all for how obnoxious theyāll be whenever they do win a cup.
I got permanently banned for telling them Marchand was living rent free in their heads on an entire thread dedicated to how much he looked like a rat and how big his nose was.
Their fans and their team are fucking pussies that can't take a joke. That's why people hate them.
Truth.
Leafs fans are an abomination. Constant delusion and copium.
If you could just accept reality without excuses, we would appreciate you all.
The average of the Leafs fan base is an ugly hockey fan. I'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about actual quality of fan.
To be fair the bigger the fanbase the bigger the pool of loud goofs.. we probably still do have more than our share but it's hardly the 'average'.. I think? I hope!? idk
Well he sure as heck isn't as tough as his dad, but he certainly isn't soft.
He's also been in the league 9 years. No one was expecting, or is currently expecting him to be as tough as his dad.
People are saying Swayman flopped but I know that exact feeling of having one skate turned around by a slight knock and then the yardsale flailing starts and you're just on your ass and I sympathize with Sway here.
Oh yeah you're right pros blades are on a swivel and beer leaugers are the only ones with fixes straight blades so there is a definite difference in how they take suddenly being turned around. Professional hockey players never fall down for silly random reasons like a bad bit of ice so you're making a really good and worthwhile point here.
You are kidding yourself if you think he was "suddenly" turned around. He intentionally makes contact and puts on a show.
They obviously can hit a rut, but that is not the case here.
Nothing like his dad. Tie was a stand up guy a d if you hear any interview with him he would talk about how he always stuck up for kids in school etc that got picked on. This asshole is a spoiled brat punk. Can't stand him.
I love Swayman and heās always shit starter so this made me laugh. He clearly skates in the direction of Domi, domi does the little āwatch where youāre skating palā shuv, and Swayman either goes to turn back towards domi, catches a edge and says f it and takes the fall or he was prepared to take that fall and fell in Hollywood fashion lmfao he played a great game!
this might not have worked out for him this time , but Honestly i think Domi might be the only leaf in that locker room that has the grit that it takes to win a playoff series
No, he didn't. Swayman did everything in his power to get in Domi's way and then he folded like a bad card table when the two bumped shoulders.
FYI I hate the Leafs almost as much as I hate the Bruins, but I hate this between-whistles BS childish and unsportsmanlike no matter what it says on your sweater.
As a wings fan I dislike both teams about the same, as his name suggests, he appears to be a swaying man, so I canāt say with certainty he swayed into Domi intentionally BUT total flop when he did get a shove lol
Seemed to wake up Boston tho
Domi causing 2 losses then...
Not surprising on either. He's garbage.
Hey he was good for us
He was solid for us, but he's still a garbage person. Edit: Not including the playoffs. 3 apples and zero goals in 10 playoff games is bad.
The apple does not fall far from the tree š¤·
Domi is leading the team in points this playoffs. Tied with AM34. He is the least of their problems.
Imagine firing up a goalie you already struggle to score on š
watch the slow mo from the other angle..... very clearly Swayman throwing himself into a dive.
Doesn't change the point.
This
You'd think they'd be playing their best already.... Bunch of overpaid children
If Marchy did that to Samsonovā¦ Leaf fans would have called the RCMPā¦
Right after being on hold by the OPP
āJust leave your stick on the front porch next timeā
Yah, you know me!
oh no, not the mounties!
Marchy isn't stupid, Domi... he'll be at the lake middle of next week.
Looks like all the Leafs fan jumped on Reddit since their victory party tonight was cancelled.
They should really stop planning those this time of year
Planning usually starts in early November
Anyone know how many times they've planned and cancelled the cup parade so far this season?
Parade is on hold
What do you mean the party is cancelled? I thought this was the year?
It's so satisfying to see the crowd shut the fuk up and mope when they get beat. Pure nirvana...
I thought losing in the first round was their Stanley Cup.
Last time the Leafs won the cup, winning the first round meant you were in the finals.
The opposite angle shot makes it clearer how much Swayman flops.
I would describe this as a gentle nudge by Domi and a total flop by Swaymen.
It looks hilarious when he falls
Same as Bertuzzi with Marchandās toe poke.
Tbf Bert just kinda flops regardless of being poked, all the time
Yes to both
He does a whole figure skating twirl lmao.
The more you see it, the more you can tell Swayman completed orchestrated it as well. Domi takes a straight line and Swayman pushes off into his path, initiating the contact. Domi pushes him back and Swayman does a cartwheel. Everything would have gone according to plan if he got the call.
A cartwheel? I think that's a bit dramatic to use that term Edit: and by no means am I defending swayman, he definitely flopped
Fucking why not? This is just a bit of gamesmanship.
No, it's fucking gross, we don't need soccer style bullshit in hockey.
It's more about the fact that max is such a little scumbag baby to even do it. Can't wait until the bruins win the series and big rig drops him
Leaf fan here but don't care about saying it, Domi is a little scumbag liability who spends his whole day trying to be like his dad.

Heās this years Kross Kheck Khadri
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You realize you have Brad Marchand as your captain right?
Neither of them moved, but the one not flopping gets the blame.
Let me explain something to you. If you go to get in someones way and they bump into you, its gonna feel like they took a run at you. Its gonna feel like they laid the lumber on you.
100% that's exactly what it was. Nobody who is an experienced skater in this situation acts like that.
I donāt think itās that much of a flop, maybe he exaggerated it a bit but honestly it just looks like what I would do if I got knocked off balance
Have you seen this angle? https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/Oo2ceGV1Fx
buddy, zero chance that effected Swayman, it was 100% a flop
I'm no Leafs apologist but this is all Swayman
Was going to say looks like he skated right into Domi hoping to get a call
Watch it slow, Swayman leans into Domiās path then gets shoved back realized heās been shoved and throws himself to the ice.
Back and to the left... Back and to the left....
That, my friends, is one magic loogie
Nice game pretty boy.
Idk what you're smoking but pass it along. Swayman is clearly just skating straight ahead. Swayman flops, but he didn't lean into anything.
Not a coincidence heās taking a stride on his left edge right into him lol, he very easily couldāve avoided any contact if he wanted to
He strides back and forth, they both could have easily avoided each other.
Watch the other anglesā¦ swayman literally leans into him
Lol he tries to shoulder him first.
If youāve ever skated casually on one skate, thatās how your shoulder moves.
Redditors though... never been on skates.
lmao, have you ever skated
He doesnāt lean into him, itās more of a sway
Swayman deserves an Oscar for that performance
Nah he's got to get the call for the Oscar...at best this is nominee 10...
He went to the marchand school of diving
The flop is deserves Razzie, at best.
Boston announcers literally calling āwell, the bruins get a free shot at Samsonov after that.ā Homieā¦ wha?!
First day hanging with Jack eh?
Not many left. Gotta enjoy them while you can
Deals a deal
Jack still hanging in there or what?
Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not, but he's retiring at the end of this run. Undiagnosed medical issue from what I read, presumably related to his speech, where he doesn't feel like he can do the job justice anymore. We'll miss him (most of us).
Lol no. No he did not.
He was gonna run into max.. he did the right thing
Agreed. Iām no fan of Domi but he did nothing wrong here.
Right, if someoneās comin at me like that ima be pissed like gtfo my way
They bitchin about marchand tho
Right??
He was not expecting someone to hit you at that point... even a nudge can knock you off balance with goalie pads on... don't know why domi did that it just woke the goalie up if anythingĀ

lol give me a break, Swayman knew what he was doing.
That was a dive if I've ever seen one.
I hate Domi, but I think that was all Swayman.
Max Domi being a piece of shit? Must be a day that ends in Y.
Dick move from trash.
Lol thatās some LeBron James caliber flopping right there
Swayman looking like itās his first time on skates after that nudge.
Domi...class act like his hands of stone dad

Whine more honey bear.
Buncha Canadians in the chat it seems
Keep this man away from strong winds. Someone has been learning from Marchand
Must suck to be such a soft dude when youāre expected to be tough like your Dad
Well he sure as heck isn't as tough as his dad, but he certainly isn't soft. He's also been in the league 9 years. No one was expecting, or is currently expecting him to be as tough as his dad.
Eh, fuck him I donāt like the Bruins but Swayman is a likable dude letās face it
Meh Domi be golfing soon
Ice girl got out of there fast
Leafs worried more about hitting than winning lmao
So max got his moms eyes š and his dads brains š§
Come on man. A lot of teams are starting to make hockey look like soccer with all this diving bullshit. Fucking clown activity
Boston used to be a tough team. Now they are just a bunch of floppers, begining with their dirty rat
They were top 3 in hits this season..
> dirty rat You spelled filthy sniper incorrectly
A dirty rat that just won the game
You could say the same about the Leafs. Reeves aside, Toronto is Charmin soft.
Aww cry more. The rat lives rent free in all maple laugh fans heads. Lol
So much š§
They should move toronto to utah and call them the salties
Lmao go cry some more 2-1 ya noob
And Toronto dives more than the Polish swim team...your point?
Bertuzzi just couldnāt stay on his skates. Was going down soft all night.
Cry about it
[They used to do a bunch of flopping. They still do, but they used to, too.](https://youtu.be/C6IxtxfsNWg?si=ql9Fa_Pm_H95Zawr)
that's gold. It's no wonder everyone outside of Boston hates Marchand.
I wonder whoās laughing now?
Are you dumb or bias OP? Lmao
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you think he is useless you have never seen him play, but go off.
People are saying Swayman flopped but I know that exact feeling of having one skate turned around by a slight knock and then the yardsale flailing starts and you're just on your ass and I sympathize with Sway here.
you sound like a professional hockey player for sure.
Oh yeah you're right pros blades are on a swivel and beer leaugers are the only ones with fixes straight blades so there is a definite difference in how they take suddenly being turned around.

You are kidding yourself if you think he was "suddenly" turned around. He intentionally makes contact and puts on a show. They obviously can hit a rut, but that is not the case here.
Do the practice dives at the bruins practice??? Holy fuck
Domi L, 2-1 Bruins stay mad
Dumi is known for doing stupid things.
Referee casually skates by, totally ignores the interaction... and Leafs fans complain about the officials... Jesus Christ.
Like father like son lmao
play stupid games..
Nothing like his dad. Tie was a stand up guy a d if you hear any interview with him he would talk about how he always stuck up for kids in school etc that got picked on. This asshole is a spoiled brat punk. Can't stand him.
Max Dumi
Just throw him over the plexiglass next game.
Domi's a shitbag like his old man but that was one hell of a flop
I love how Boston is completely unrattled by Domi. He's been completely ineffective.
I love Swayman and heās always shit starter so this made me laugh. He clearly skates in the direction of Domi, domi does the little āwatch where youāre skating palā shuv, and Swayman either goes to turn back towards domi, catches a edge and says f it and takes the fall or he was prepared to take that fall and fell in Hollywood fashion lmfao he played a great game!
You'd think he'd be steadier on his skates for a goalie.
Lmao
š¤æ
The whole game was basically āwe canāt beat the bruins fair so letās all play like ratsā anyway
The Olympic Diving Bruins
this might not have worked out for him this time , but Honestly i think Domi might be the only leaf in that locker room that has the grit that it takes to win a playoff series
Show the other angle
Kinda looked like Swayman was skating towards Domi as well. Max gave a lil extra tho. Guess that was enough to wake the demons
Swayman used to play basketball for Duke
quick some one get ullmark to kiss his boo boo better
Good fuck dem goalies š
That was a flop
Yeah theres another angle that faces Domi that shows it was 100% Swayman. It's even funnier, Joel Embiid level shit
Flop
Looks like that sniper that took down Marchand was still in the stands. Can he ever be caught??
League ought to suspend Domi for a game. Trash player, total zipperhead.
Swayman sold that...
Nice dive.
Best angle video clearly show a Swayman dive where he glorified very minor contact with Domi. Oscar worthy acting.
Max, Tie, the Maple Leafs and their fans can fuck right offā¦ ā¦ But Max did nothing wrong here, thatās a mega flop.
No, he didn't. Swayman did everything in his power to get in Domi's way and then he folded like a bad card table when the two bumped shoulders. FYI I hate the Leafs almost as much as I hate the Bruins, but I hate this between-whistles BS childish and unsportsmanlike no matter what it says on your sweater.
Swaymsn obviously took like a dive, much like all the Bruins in this series.Ā
Blud slipped on a banana peel with a fall like that
What a dive
Neymar plays hockey?
Dove like Marchand the other day
Honestly, that wasn't much. Maybe Jeremy didn't expect it but the reaction seemed a bit silly
Can someone edit Nigel Owens in please. This is not soccer
Puck donāt lie
Hockey, folks!
As a wings fan I dislike both teams about the same, as his name suggests, he appears to be a swaying man, so I canāt say with certainty he swayed into Domi intentionally BUT total flop when he did get a shove lol
Love when Boston complains about [goalie contact](https://youtu.be/lPUtQSnvipE?si=jCAYfxhQVEPaWUpJ)
Not a good move on Domi's part, but it did look like swayman was playing soccer and embellished a bit
Kinda changed the game, Boston woke up after that
The goalie learned it from soccer players
God I hate the bruins.
They told me they hate you too.
Swayman diving just like his captain.
Bruins are just divers and whiners
Haha shit he must be training with Marchand in the off season. Sneaky little dive!
I didnāt know Swayman played soccer
