Coach MacLean post-game - 2.23.2013

Not much to say after that game except what a big win in their first game without Craig Anderson on Hockey Night in Canada against a division rival.
Colin Greening was the no-brainer first star. He was great in all three zones, tied a career high in single game points with three and scored the game winner with 24 seconds to play. Greening's line with Mika Zibanejad and Erik Condra was the best line for either team, forcing turnovers and generating chances. They were rewarded with the offensive zone faceoff late and they delivered. Full marks to them.
Coach MacLean was very positive after the game. Here is a twitter rundown of his thoughts:
