Niedermayer accuses Domi of threat before hit

TORONTO (AP) -- Scott Niedermayer accused Tie Domi of threatening to hit him two games before doing so and even boasting it would be bad enough for a suspension.
In his first public comments since being knocked out Thursday by the Toronto Maple Leafs' forward, Niedermayer said Monday that Domi planned the attack in retaliation for a hit from the New Jersey Devils' defenseman.
Niedermayer cut Domi over the bridge of the nose with his stick in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals but was not penalized. In the waning moments of Game 4, Domi hit Niedermayer with a vicious elbow to the head.
``He said he was going to take a suspension on me,'' Niedermayer said.
Domi was indeed suspended by the NHL and must sit out for at least the rest of the playoffs.
Niedermayer wouldn't reveal more details of Domi's threat, adding only that he believed Domi was going to go after him.
``So I kept one eye on him when I was on the ice and he was on the ice at the same time. But I never expected anything more than that,'' Niedermayer said.
Despite being on the lookout, Niedermayer said he didn't see Domi coming in the final seconds of Game 4 until it was too late.
``I just remember turning around and seeing him. That was it,'' said Niedermayer, who's seen one replay of the hit. ``I don't remember me having a chance to do anything, really. I vaguely remember him, not very well.''
Domi was not immediately available for comment. The Maple Leafs had already left the Air Canada Centre to prepare for Monday night's Game 6.
Saturday, Domi said he regretted what happened, saying it was a ``stupid reaction.''
He then added: ``I sincerely hope Scott will be well soon enough to play hockey again.''
Despite the suspension, Domi is allowed to practice with the team.
The Leafs have won two straight games to lead the best-of-seven series 3-2.
Niedermayer, who sustained a concussion, was to miss his second game of the series Monday and wasn't sure if he will be ready to play by Thursday if the Devils force Game 7.
Niedermayer looked relaxed and spoke in a calm voice during a 20-minute news conference.
He said he is feeling better and has been able to sleep.
Niedermayer said Domi had left a message on his answering machine but that he's not sure whether he can forgive him.
``I don't know if it's really a place for me to talk about how I feel about what happened or my thoughts towards Tie at all in public,'' he said.






Half assing it.

Well Gomez and McKay said the same thing after game four, immediately after the hit occured. Who knows.

My question is why was Brodeur watching from center ice when Cujo is getting involved and its 6 on 5? Brodeur has to get involved. If Daniel Cloutier was there he would have gone wild like when he kicked the shit out of Salo.

its not brodeurs job to be an enforcer, he knows what he is supposed to do and what not, and hes no expected to do that. it was a matter of cujo going apeshit, it was funny how mckay pulled the net back to protect himself when like 4 leafs begane to swarm on him, and how cujo's teammate knocked him over almost

Obviously Brodeur is not there to be an enforcer. But if things get out of hand and there is a brawl going on, Brodeur HAS to be there, to at least grab one of Toronto's guys.

Things looked like they were going to get out of hand, but they calmed down quick.

Holy S, Howie, remember that shit? That was a classic goalie fight!

What was with the signs last night too? Bring Back Tie! What the fuck? The guy goes out of his way to injure Nieds, and the fans support him like he did something good? DIE, DOMI, DIE!

its just a matter of the leafs capitilizing off of the mob mentality of the leafs fans, you just have to take it for what it is, an act of ignorance

Devils were on a powerplay at the time of the mini-brawl. Cujo jumping in made it 5 on 5 so their was no need for brodeur to flex his muscle

I root for NJ. All the players who play for NJ, except some of the europeans, live in NJ now, they have homes, so now they are Jerseians and Americans, they may have Dual Citizenship, but if you had to choose? c'mon, no one is choosing Canada, their Prime Minister dosn't want to be there.
