All he does is run around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to look like he's doing something. Always late to the puck carrier so he doesn't have to hit him.

Anyone who's played hockey their entire life I've spoken too says the same about him.

But whatever, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

way late to the puck here and against such a slow terrible player....

Does speed really make all that much difference?

If anything, the larger ice allows for a zone-type defense instead of man-to-man. Players are so far out from the net at the boards that they aren't a threat out there.

Remember Dion's bad habit of getting caught up ice? It cost us game 4 last May vs the B's.

It's true - you're definitely entitled to your own opinion.

Sure OK, lets compare a guy that has basically played on the 3rd line his career to a guy who played with the best playmaker at the time.


There's nothing wrong with keeping Kulemin. Unless you can find someone who can do what he does/better than he does for the cost/less than he cost. I don't think you'll be able to.

Leo Komarov.

too bad he is so slow he could not get out of the way of this one

Greg Millen "he doesn't do this very often"

Yeah Greg, hockey people realize he doesn't do it very often. If he did, this wouldn't be a debate right now.

Wasn't as fast in this play unfortunately

How do you not protect yourself there? instead you just stand their with that stupid dopey look on your face. GET IN THE GAME KULEMIN, WAKE UP

is this Kulemin actually taking a big hit from a massive player to make sure the puck clears the zone.... must be photoshopped

Well I guess this means you win...who can argue with that point.

Reputation is important, and so it is on HB apparently.

or maybe you mean he doesn't do it during the playoffs?

Well finding someone to match his 6-10 goals a year shouldn't be tough. Finding someone who isn't scared of getting hit shouldn't be too tough either.

Komorov?
- Sheppy99

Who replaces the rest of the goals??? Kulemin is more than a 6-10 scorer.

whatever, its a pointless debate because the leafs are shopping him anyway so he'll be gone either by the deadline or the summer. So get you some Kulemin while you still can guys

It's pretty obvious that your dislike for the guy is shrouding your "life long" hockey judgement.

Well we wont be able to trade him... Anyone who has been involved in hockey all their lives knows he sucks..... Or are you suggesting there may be a coach or GM or two in the NHL that just started into hockey recently....

3rd or 4th round draft pick if we're lucky. Doubt we'll even get that. Let him walk in the summer. Dollars can be better spent elsewhere.

As every hockey analyst has already said but as per usual. Most leaf fans are late to the party.

yea disregard the 70 games though....... cause that one doesn't support your argument right
