[handpartyable]

Nikolai kool-aid min ???

[TheThenerdanotor12]

@handpartyable lol

[leafs121688]

Well according to yet another Russian broadcast, it's pronounced the way most of us pronounce it

[PS3IceDude14]

What a season for Kulemin, 30 goals! Who said Kulemin was going score 30 at the start of the season? He has been a pleasant surprise for the Leafs.

[sakicrocks]

Actually gemstone, if you watch a Russian broadcast, that is how Kulemin's name is pronounced.... or an attempt at it.

[HockeyFan8134]

That was awesome! Kulemin is one of my favourite players.

[YungZ905]

game winner! first nhl goal wow

[gemstones44]

way to pronounce his name wrong :P

[okpapereat]

yay he has become more awesome now because more chance to play with the young guys.

[Gixxerz0192]

Kulemin is turning into an awesome hockey player keep it up!

[just2940]

Met him today at a Marlies game. He was there with his gf. Great guy, hard worker. I wish all the best on this guy.

[nonikhanna]

i think he is married he has a kid too

[keidall]

i totally forgot this was his rookie year..15goals is allright...cant wait for the season to start!

[CrazyCleatus420]

In the final 11 games of the season, he put up 9 points (5 goals and 4 assists). That's the Kulemin I'm hoping for next year.

[Fifa09Wii]

lol i remember going into the game and everyone was saying it was a rebuilding year for the leafs and then they go in and beat detroit

[jordyan]

the guy said kul-a-min instead of kul-e-min

[hockeyislife0193]

Technically, it's supposed to be koo-lay-mihn. This was what it was in Russia, and what the NHL's pronunciation guide says..

[d0zer24]

I was at this game. The wings played like crap.

[shootgoats]

Listen to all the Leafs fans there too.. fuckin beauty!!

[GoalHornDude]

hahah its funny stamkos which is the first overall pick has 7 goals while kulemin has 9 :P go #41 !!

[danicatim]

he'll get going soon

[1337leaf]

nice

[flygaia]

don't give pluses to this comment.

[clayman1919]

hes going to do great things for the leafs

[ovechcro8778]

first goal in first nhl game!

[wisey1wiseone]

That was beautiful. What a perfect shot.

[leafsgirl42]

pure goal scorer when you see this.

[Sundinrox13]

yeah that was a greaat goal...shitt

a good way to start the season too beating the Wings like that

[liltiger3]

Sick goal. And his first too.

[bayervon]

kulemin's pimp

first goal is in the first game and is a game winner , unassisted

krasavchik, Kolya, ma man!

[Steve0016]

nice goal eh?

[chinaman9]

Should be the first of many beauties by Kulemin.

[SuperColossal33]

very impressed with him and grabovsky..expecting well over 20 goals from him this year. The success of the team will depend on whether or not antropov, ponikarovsky, stajan and steen can bring to the table what they should have been bringing all along...and what sundin decides and what we do with his money

assassinating richard peddie would be a nice start too, cant believe the things him and the coach are saying about the team this year..if they want to finish low, that is not the way.

[14hourboner]

14hb supports the leafs.

[adamjr24]

Leafs got a really fast team this year.i think the first period there wasn't a whistle until after 11 mins of play. Really fast paced hockey some of the fastest hockey i have seen from the Leafs in a long time.

[Heffiewiggle]

Beauty. Great goal. I'm liking the youngsters on my team. Go Leafs Go!

[mapleleafsfan4]

A thing of beauty.

[05nida]

Awesome game, awesome pace.

His line was the best one out there tonight

[RobViper13]

All the haters will laugh at Leaf fans for celebrating the win like it's the Stanley Cup but a win is a win. And a win over the defending champs while being expected to be destroyed is a win and a half! Leafs played great and even the haters have to admit it. Whether we go 1-81 all year won't take away that we outplayed the champs tonight, end of story.

[MapleLeafsUnofficial]

well said man, well said

[NintendoGam3r]

Well said :)

GO LEAFS GO

[sccrdd483]

poetic... ahaha

[Heffiewiggle]

I agree 100%! The haters will take the most glorious news the Leafs could have like... say... "Leafs sign Crosby", and they'd say something like "Oh, start planning the parade!" But I honestly think, while we may not do well this year, the games will definitely be more exciting!

[1234DRLJAN]

@RobViper13 very well said

[sccrdd483]

yeah... You beat the Red Wings... Enjoy it while it lasts...

[MapleLeafsUnofficial]

someone's bitter.ahaha

[sccrdd483]

not bitter... I just have a better hockey team and I know it...

No offense, just having fun...

Dude! What's with the 4 thumbs down??? :(

[sccrdd483]

ouch... 7 thumbs down... I would say it's Leafs fans who are bitter...

[marchenebury]

we will

[VslAfg]

ya we win!!!!!!!

[ballin1kid]

first! Go Leafs

[COD4nub]

Go Leafs Go! What an upset tonight!

Magnificent goal!
