Leafs believer Paul Bissonnette drops 2-word verdict after watching Max Domi pound away at Panthers' Nate Schmidt in heated fight

Toronto Maple Leafs believer Paul Bissonnette reacted to the fiery exchange between Panthers forward Max Domi and Leafs defenseman Nate Schmidt in the Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Panthers on Thursday.

The incident occurred in the first period, following Domi's check on Panthers winger Carter Verhaeghe. Schmidt took exception to the hit and proceeded to push Domi, leading the two players to drop their gloves and engage in a heated scuffle.

Domi rained down unanswered uppercuts until the referees were forced to intervene and separate the combatants. Bissonnette reacted to the fight, tweeting:

"Our Year #leafsforever"

He also made another comment later:

“The Yacht Club is rocking.”

Despite Domi's fists flying, the Panthers eventually got a 3-2 victory over the Leafs. Sam Bennett (two goals) and Niko Mikkola scored for Florida, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves in the win.

John Tavares and Domi scored for the Leafs, while Anthony Stolarz stopped 22 shots in the loss. The Panthers cemented their hold on first place in the Atlantic Division with 85 points, while the second-placed Leafs have 81 points.
