Dominant win tonight. The Caps were all over Minnesota all game.
The team is already transitioning from the Ovie era, even with Ovie still on the team. It's still way too early to tell, but Ovie may be just another guy now. This is no criticism - he's had 20 HARD years in the league, and the game that is being played now is not really his game any more.

As long as the opponent keeps getting 10 shots on, I think we're good. Seriously, though, they've started better than I expected. PP still needs a ton of work.
