Monday\u2019s game was expected to be a physical showdown, and the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> wasted no time.Maple Leafs forward Max Domi squared off against Anaheim Ducks captain Radko Gudas three seconds into the game. Gudas suited up<\/a> despite nursing an apparent lower-body injury, in order to properly atone for his previous conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want the game to get out of hand, and I don\u2019t blame them,\u201d Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said pre-game, when asked about what message he\u2019s received from the NHL about Monday\u2019s contest. \u201cI don\u2019t think it is good for anybody. You don\u2019t want anything stupid happening with suspensions and things like that. That doesn\u2019t solve anything. Just go out, play the game with a lot of emotion and energy, be physical, and be hard on their skilled players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berube was irate with his team, following a lack of response to Gudas\u2019 hit on Matthews during the March 12 game. Morgan Rielly took responsibility for the lack of response following the March 12 contest, but the message was clear from the outset entering Monday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Of course, the events of Monday\u2019s game may be secondary to the larger organizational news. An hour before the game, the Maple Leafs announced that they had parted ways with general manager Brad Treliving<\/a>. Treliving was hired in May 2023, but ultimately did not construct a roster<\/a> that could sustainably contend for the Stanley Cup, following a second-round exit against the Florida Panthers last spring. As the Maple Leafs will miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade, Tuesday could be the first step towards major institutional change.PRESENTED BY TABLE FARE + SOCIAL\"\"TABLE Fare + Social is a vibrant food hall in the heart of Toronto\u2019s financial district, offering a unique dining and social experience just steps from transit and the arena\u2014perfect for pregame meals before tip-off.
