Was that a Mirage, or Did We Just See a Kulemin Breakthrough? - Mike at Vintage Leaf Memories

Kulemin—still only 25 years of age—had netted 15, 16 and then 30 goals in his first three seasons, overcoming challenges including language and new surroundings to grow into a solid, two-way NHL winger at a fairly tender age.

Random stat of the day - Leafs are 9-0-2 against teams with 3 word in their name. Courtesy of PPP user plen.
Random stat of the day #2 - How do you improve the league's worst PK? By not taking penalties. Leafs have only been shorthanded twice in the past three games. Last night was the first game all season without a shorthanded situation.
