Sheldon Keefe calls out Brad Marchand and the NHL officials
Ahead of game two between Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Sheldon Keefe met with the media to talk about the brutal officiating and proceeded to call out Brad Marchand. Safe to say tensions in this series continue to rise by the day in the Leafs/Bruins series.
In game one between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, the only player that really stood out for the struggling Leafs was Max Domi who was known for his high intense game. Despite being called upon a slashing penalty, Sheldon Keefe has given the Toronto Native permission to keep the same intensity. He also threw a shot at the NHL officials and Bruins captain Brad Marchand asking for the same treatment.
"We'll see if he gets called on it."
Sheldon Keefe wants Max Domi to keep the intensity high despite undisciplined slash in Game 1. wants officials to call it the same way if Bruins and Marchand try to do the same in Game 2 ⤵️
He proceeded to defend Domi's intensity:
"I don't need Max to change anything about who he is and how he plays. He's an important guy for us, and I love the intensity he brought the other night. He got caught on the penalty," the Maple Leafs coach said of Domi. "I know their guy's probably going to get the same slash probably ten times in the rest of this series, and we'll see if he gets called on it. But I love Max's intensity."
Let's see if the Maple Leafs can respond tonight after Saturday's embarrassing loss.
