We'll see when the two teams play again. I doubt anyone will be stretchered off, but the Panthers aren't a team afraid to throw down. I think it's going to be a penalty-filled game with all kinds of chippyness and scraps. Ekblad will probably not fight, but somebody is going after Domi next game.

Headline story this morning on TSN website: https://www.tsn.ca/ekblad-broke-nose-on-domi-punch-vows-scores-will-be-settled-1.1176998
Domi may be lucky the league ruled on the suspension before the Habs played last night and apparently before the Panthers found out that Ekblad has a broken nose.
Terrible first impression to make on a new team. I have no use for that kind of crap in hockey.

I don't know. It was a bit much but I have to say I did kind of enjoy watching it. It's not really a sucker punch when you've been hit twice before that. I don't think Domi needed to go that far but I admire the fire in the belly. If he can put up a bit less points than Galchenyuk but bring some more spark to the team I could definitely live with this trade. Still think Galchenyuk will light it up in AZ big time.

I feel the exact same way; and the fact that one of my favourite Habs was traded for this guy doesn't help.
Honestly if I had to chose between what Domi did and what Ekblad did, I rather have a player punch another player, than a player just stand there and get his nose broken by someone half his size. What Domi did was stupid, and not acceptable, what Ekblad did was just as stupid and embarrassing.

Well now, some wont what I have to say. I love it, sends a big message. I have seen for years the habs get abused, from Kreider busting Price knee and just saying sorry but not my fault, to Boston fans calling the near death issue of Patches and Chara and calling it a strong hockey play.
maybe Domi is sending a message, we are tired of going quietly into the night. Wrong
? YES but with a BIG purpose going forward. Yes your dog might have bigger size but my dog has FIGHT.

People are angry at what he did. It is kinda gooney, and he hurt his development on the team, but he senta strong message that the Habs are not to be f***ed with. People have been running at us for a while because we are small. Well, he took a whack from a 6’5” dude, and landed him on his ass. Will people be thinking they have free shots on our team in the future? Domi probably will make them reflect a bit ... as will Byron and Gallagher. I don’t mind it at all.
I mean, if the rest of the league was full of angels that never slashed, crosschecked, ran goalies, or what not, then I’d say there was no place for Domi. But the league is full of dpuchebag bullies. Just look at how much Brook Orpik was cross checking our players in the crease today. If someone on our team broke his nose for those gestures, since the refs aren’t calling him, then he might actually lay off it a bit.
Hate goonery, in all its manifestations. But an eye for an eye. I don’t want to be the only blind fool!

Domi isn't scaring anybody on the other teams. They will just be better prepared. Habs will still get pummeled.
Domi has knocked down two players much bigger than him. How can you “prepare” for that?

Media? Probably the Mtl media mostly sucks. Fans? Not so sure. I think most fans understand why he did what he did.

That would be an excellent season for him this year all things considered.

Luongo making threats and now Ekblad too.
I really hope Domi clean punches them both right in the f***ing map next time.

Ekblad is making threats? What a f***ing idiot if that's the case. You already provoked Domi to want to fight you(to be expected when you slash and cross check someone like Domi) AND you have concussion issues which is why you refused to fight him.
with Ekblad making threats now, Dec 28th i hope Domi skates right to him, and asks him to go ...
Agreed. He made the comment, now I hope before they play he is asked for clarification. Who's going to settle the score and how?
