Max Domi.

Ironic, isn’t it? I know there’s a chance Domi might be deemed unfit to play by doctors who might be too concerned about his pre-existing condition of Type 1 diabetes, which means we might not get to watch him at all. But I believe he intends to play and, given how well he manages that condition, I’m sure he’s hopeful doctors will grant him permission.

If they do, they’re giving all of us an opportunity to see what Domi looks like in a playoff-style game for the first time in his NHL career. And that’s most compelling for a couple of reasons.

First off, the 25-year-old is up for a contract and, after following up a 72-point season in 2018-19 with just 44 points over his 71 games in 2019-20, this is a golden opportunity for him to prove his worth.

Second, here’s a player whose feisty attitude and ferocious playing style would lend well to playoff hockey. We know it has in the past, with Domi scoring 60 points in 58 playoff games over his OHL career with the London Knights and notching 10 points in seven games as part of a gold medal run with the Canadian world junior team in 2015. It’s time to see what he can do now, if he’s permitted to show us.
