Leafs 'disgusted' after punch on Kulemin


This is the latest incident in the NHL to get some discussion. If you watch this video you will see the Leaf's player Nikolai Kulemin is swinging at Tim Gleason. Seriously! I don't feel sorry for Nikolai Kulemin one bit, he brought that on himself. My advice for the young Euro is, this is north American, if you don't want your nose broken don't swing at a guy that is known for having fought 33 times during his NHL career, he isn't going to kiss you if you hit him with your fist, you better be ready to fight. Gleason didn't get into 33 fights by accident. It's that simple Kulemin bit off more than he can chew.
Globe and Mail --- "I was disgusted with that," Kulemin's linemate Clarke MacArthur said. "There's certain match-ups on the ice and I don't care what [Gleason] says, you know when you're in the right match-up. A guy like Kulemin's never been a guy to fight and Gleason does it a lot. He knows better than that."
