In 1995, Domi was traded back to the Toronto Maple Leafs. That year, he famously knocked New York Rangers defenceman Ulf Samuelsson unconscious with a sucker punch to the face. Domi was suspended for 8 games and heavily fined for the incident, described by some as one of the cheapest shots in NHL history. Domi insisted that Samuelsson provoked the punch by repeatedly calling him “dummy”.

In the 1997–98 season, Tie Domi set a Leaf’s single-season record with 365 penalty minutes, passing a mark set by Tiger Williams in 1977–78. During the 2000–01 season, Domi was involved in an incident with a fan during an away game on March 29, 2001, against the Philadelphia Flyers. Sitting in the penalty box, Domi used his water bottle to spray water at a heckler, prompting another Flyers fan, Christopher Falcone, to begin yelling at him and climbing up the glass.

The glass panel gave way, and Falcone fell into the penalty box and Domi then grabbed Falcone and punched him several times. After the game in an interview, Domi said to the media, “It’s nice to see the fans get involved, I guess.” Domi was fined $1000, the maximum allowable at the time by the NHLPA’s collective bargaining agreement, but received no suspension. On May 3, 2001, in the closing seconds of Game 4 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Semi-finals, well away from the play, Domi threw an elbow at the head of New Jersey Devils defenceman Scott Niedermayer, knocking him unconscious.

Tie Domi was assessed a game misconduct and the following day, was suspended by the league for the remainder of the playoffs, with the condition that if Toronto did not advance to the following round, then Domi was to sit out the first 8 games of the 2001-02 NHL season. Toronto was eliminated by New Jersey in Game 7, and Domi’s suspension subsequently carried over into the following season.

Domi’s rights were traded to the Nashville Predators on June 30, 2002, ahead of his unrestricted free agency, by Toronto for Nashville’s 8th round choice (Shaun Landolt) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Nashville was unable to sign him, with Domi later re-signing with Toronto as a free agent on July 13, 2002. He had his best season in the 2003-04 NHL season when he set career highs of 15 goals and 29 points.

In what turned out to be his final season of 2005–06, Domi scored his 100th NHL goal. Also, Domi played his 1,000th career NHL game, on March 3, 2006, against the Buffalo Sabres. Seven days later, on March 10, 2006, Domi was a healthy scratch for the Maple Leafs’ game versus the New York Islanders, which was the first time since the 1999 playoffs that he had been made a healthy scratch by coach Pat Quinn.

Domi stated publicly that he was not happy with being benched, a fact that was underlined by his staying in his hotel room, not arriving at the game until after the second period and was widely regarded as a contributing factor in the decision to buy out his contract. On June 30, 2006, the Maple Leafs opted to buy out the final year of Domi’s contract. He became a free agent on July 1, 2006. Without a contract several months later, Domi announced his retirement on September 19. Domi is the all-time NHL leader in fights with 333.
