You went all the down to Buffalo for the game? Or did you live there? I live in Stevensville, which is part of Fort Erie. I'm only 20mins from the HSBC Arena (Minus bridge traffic and trying to get out of the parking lot).!!! |

From what I saw, Kulemin was much better this game than in previous games, but he's still a little awestruck by the speed of the game. He seems a little timid with the puck, but for the most part played a solid game. Once we see him get comfortable with his linemates, I think we'll see him try to stickhandle and create a lot more, which he was great at in the RSL. Yeah, I saw him make a couple sweet moves and open himself up a lane to shoot but he didn't shoot. I like his physicalness and his defensive awareness. I think he's gotten better from game to game. Hopefully he continues to progress. |

I'm sure you can get some reasonably priced tickets to see the Leafs play down there this year then. Leaf tickets at the ACC are so gosh darn expensive... I'm hoping to finally scrape together enough cash to watch my first ever game this year lol. |

Hopefully he continues to progress. I agree, he showed flashes of some excellent play tonight. Some that stick out in my mind (I only saw 2nd half of the game): - Kulemin breaking up a blueline cross-ice pass to start a 2 on 1 with Jason Blake - Kulemin stealing the puck of away from a Buffalo defender by simply outmuscling him and setting up a good scoring chance - Kulemin stealing the puck away again from a Buffalo defender, getting it to White for a shot, while also causing all kinds of havoc in front of the net before White puts it in. I could've sworn Kulemin tipped it though. |

I've been going with my wife for the last 5 or 6 year and the tickets started out at $35. Now, last year those same tickets were $85. Same seat last year for just about any other team is $35. I've been to a few in TO too. My last one was when the Leafs beat the Rangers 9-3 or something like that!!! |
