Was talking to #Isles Clutterbuck about MacLean: "I think the lesson for a lot of young kids out there is if you're not going to be the Mat Barzals of the world, you want to play the game properly and hard, and you'll find a place for sure." https://t.co/Udy94detdg
Asked #Isles Kyle MacLean to take me through each stage of his first #NHL goal. Coming later @TheHockeyNews
It'll be tough to find an NHLer with a first-goal story cooler than Islanders rookie Kyle MacLean's. His first NHL tally came with his old man looking on from behind the team's bench. Read: https://t.co/RET1Jkv8tU https://t.co/agvJ2O6Al1
Clutterbuck on MacLean's first #NHL goal: "He made a great move, great poise. Just very happy for him." @IslesMSGN
"It was as pretty of a first NHL goal as you could ask for, with MacLean getting the pass and skating in all alone on a breakaway before absolutely undressing Ilya Samsonov." -- @brendan_yerkes @TheHockeyNews Undressing, MacLean did. https://t.co/MlW7BEkZel
