The Mavericks get conclude their weekend series against the Allen Americans tonight. Mavric Parks gets the start once again. After the first whistle, Eric Freschi gets into a fight off the draw. Pretty even fight and him and his contender take a seat in the box for 7 minutes. The unsportsmanlike conduct added an extra 2 minutes to their time. Jared VanWormer squeezes the 1st goal past the Allen goalie at 13:00. With assists from Mark Cooper and Corey Durocher.
The 2nd seemed to play out at a slower pace than the first. Allen was visibly getting more scrappy but the Mavericks hold their composure and don't bite back. They get a heck of scoring chance when Matt Robertson comes in with a toe drag and his rebound is thrown at the net. Fans are still confused as to how it didn't go in. Seems as if it hit the goalies helmet or should pads so there was no ting of the crossbar. They finish up the period outshooting the Americans 22-11, still holding their 1-0 lead.
Mavericks lose their cool in the first half of the third and two fights happen simultaneously involving Mark Cooper and Kayle Doetzel. Cooper sits in the box and Doetzel leaves the rink with a 10 min game misconduct on top of his 5 minutes. The Mavs continue play and take a late penalty with about 6 minutes to go but they kill it off. They play the rest out and win it 1-0. Mavric Parks gets the shutout and VanWormer with the game winning goal. They sweep Allen but do it in a narrower fashion tonight.
