In the first game of the playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Boston Bruins 1-5. The match was intense from the start, with Max Domi from the Maple Leafs and Brad Marchand from the Bruins exchanging words and hits even before the game began.
But Domi's aggressive move backfired when he got penalized in the second period, giving the Bruins a chance to score and widen their lead.
Despite the loss, Domi said,
"We tried to send a message, but it didn't work out. We still did some good things in the game, so we need to keep doing that."
