Well, the Mavs finally broke through with a win on Saturday night versus North Dakota, after putting in a solid effort against Denver the previous weekend. UNO Hockey nearly got a sweep, falling short on Friday night — giving up the game-winning goal in the final two minutes of play.
On Saturday, the Mavs came from behind, scoring two goals in the final 20 minutes of regulation to post a 4-3 win.
The actual victory — compared to the "moral victories" from the previous weekend's series with Denver — seemed to put a spring in the step of the coaching staff and players, as evidenced by the quotes in the Weekly Media Availability.
It also brought some levity to the 15th episode of the MavPuckCast, which also finds Jason and Jon discussing the subject of fan etiquette (in particular, visiting fan etiquette).
