Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi had a big game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he quickly threw some compliments to Chris Tanev.
Tuesday night was huge for Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev, as he officially returned from a concussion that took him out for over a month.
The Maple Leafs were in need of their shutdown defenseman, and he did not disappoint as he had a solid first game back.
Max Domi, a struggling forward for the Maple Leafs, also had an extremely solid outing with the team, scoring one goal and one assist.
After the game, Domi described why Tanev means so much to the team and how his presence was able to uplift everyone else.

In fact, during Domi's glaze fest, he noted that Tanev is the ultimate shotblocker, which is what makes him so effective.
You look up 'teammate' in the dictionary, he'd be right there. He's the ultimate pro, does the hardest things, eats pucks for breakfast lunch and dinner. That's on the ice. Off it, his leadership and experience just calms our whole group down.
If you are a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have to love this mentality from the team's players, even when the going gets tough.
Tanev is back on the ice, and as a result, everyone is feeling a whole lot better. Perhaps this is the momentum the team needs to get things going.
After all, the team is back in action on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, which is a rivalry game that is going to be important to a lot of people.
The fans want a win, and beating your provincial rival could create further momentum that would be valuable for this team.
