The Bruins and Maple Leafs racked up 50 total penalty minutes, 91 combined hits, and four fighting majors on Thursday night in Boston’s 4-1 win at TD Garden.
But if Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman had his way, there might have been a few more scraps spilling out on the ice in Boston’s barn.
In what quickly devolved into a chippy bout between Original Six foes, Leafs forward Max Domi incited another extended brouhaha early in the third period after delivering a hit (and getting whistled for roughing) against Brad Marchand.
As the Bruins and Leafs skaters exchanged shoves and other post-whistle pleasantries, Swayman made his move.
