There was a crucial factor that ignited the Leafs' energy in the game, and it was the initiative taken by Mark Giordano and Max Domi in defense of their teammates.
Holy wow Mark Giordano, this fan perspective of the fight from last night is insane.
Max Domi: oh hell no
In a game where enforcer Ryan Reaves was sidelined, the Leafs rallied to support each other when they believed their opponents had crossed a line. This display of passion and unity was precisely what had been missing in previous games.

Undoubtedly, there is a fine line to tread when standing up for teammates, as no one wants to spend the entire game shorthanded due to instigation penalties.
However, in some instances, taking a penalty is a worthy sacrifice for the team spirit. This energy resonates beyond the immediate 2-minute penalty and proves beneficial in the long run.

Appreciated Domi's response

"It just shows the character of our group. He's a skill guy too. He's not really known for a fighter, but he has that feistiness in him & for him to stand up for me there, it's great to see."
This style of play is something the Leafs should continue to build upon, finding the delicate balance of when to intervene while taking pride in their commitment to each other.
