The Mavs started a bit slow, but regained their footing after about 7 minutes and then played well throughout in a win over the Panthers.
For the first 7 minutes or so, it looked like it was going to be a long day for the Mavs. The Panthers attacked from the outset, controlled play, and generated a number of scoring opportunities. Fortunately, the Mavs regained their footing and started to assert themselves. From that point on, while the Panthers threatened several times, the Mavs pretty well controlled the game. The Mavs' relentless pressure resulted in 3 goals and primarily kept the ball in the Panthers half of the field. We're still giving up too many short corners but are otherwise improving steadily.
