Tie Domi
Domi
Tie Domi may have been fined $1,000 for grappling with a Flyers' fan Chris Falcone on Thursday, but the quotes that followed the incident are truly priceless. Here are ESPN.com's favorites from Thursday:


"That hasn't happened to me since I was 15, playing in Junior B. That time, it was a mascot."
Leafs RW Tie Domi, in The Philadelphia Inquirer


"The paramedics there took glass out of my head. I'm going to miss work tomorrow."
Chris Falcone in The Philadelphia Daily News


"If it's going to happen anywhere, it's probably to going to happen in Philadelphia."
Flyers LW Paul Ranheim


"It's nice to see the fans get involved, I guess."
Domi, in the Toronto Sun


"I was with Tie (Thursday) and he wasn't drinking any beers. I'm sure the other guy had about 30 or 40. Who are you going to side with?"
Leafs G Curtis Joseph in the Toronto Sun


"(Linesman) Kevin (Collins) took a few for me. That doesn't happen very often."
Domi, in the Toronto Sun


"Chris has got a little bit of a temper and went after him. I tried grabbing him and pulling him back. But once he got in, there I wasn't going in."
Tom Foga, friend of Falcone, in phillyBurbs.com


"All I saw was some guy fall over the thing, I wasn't paying attention."
Leafs coach Pat Quinn in The Philadelphia Inquirer


"Nobody is going to come into my work. If he wants to come in here, he's going to have to pay the price."
Domi


"It's just funny the glass broke. It's more funny than anything."
Flyers D Andy Delmore


"Hey, that's old-time hockey, it was perfect. Hey, he comes into my territory, that's what happens."
Domi, laughing


"I've never seen anything like that. It was kind of comical."
Flyers RW Rick Tocchet The Philadelphia Inquirer


"There's been times I wanted to do the same thing – squirt water – and I just kind of catch myself and say it's not worth it."
Ranheim


"I'm not going to let anybody swing at me. I don't care who it is."
Domi


"We were watching him on the bench and it just got us pumped up."
Leafs LW Jonas Hoglund, in the Toronto Sun


"(Falcone) blindsided (linesman) Kevin (Collins) with a pretty good one and as soon as he hit Kevin, I said 'Hey, this is enough of this,' and tried to help Kevin out. He really hit Kevin pretty good."
Domi


"It's kind of comical, as long as it's a freak thing and nobody gets hurt."
Flyers D Dan McGillis
