So it's ok as long as you judge it to be ok?
Seriously?
BTW, perhaps the reason Kulemin has no fight history is because he has a habit of throwing gloved punches and then hiding behind a ref?
Kulemin doesn't throw punches at all. This was a case of protecting himself when Gleason got him first in the face, intentional or not. Kulemin never fights, and in scrums he usually just grabs the guys arms, and holds him, while they both watch what else is going on.
Anyways, you can look at this from a variety of perspectives. Should Gleason have thrown a punch while Kulemin still had his gloves on? No, but things happen fast. Should Kulemin have been prepared? Yes, but again, things happen very quickly and I am sure he didn't expect Gleason to drop them and fire on him.
Its both their faults. Gleason got his 5 minute major, Kulemin got his 2 minute roughing penalty, fair call, and I the refs for this one. I believe they got it right.
