WASHINGTON D.C. -- After dropping one in New Jersey to fall to 1-2, general manager Dominik Luomo found it imperative to speak with the team about the correlation between job security and effort.

"I just said to the guys that although the season is just getting underway, things are going to be different than they were last year. I am not the same GM Peter (Chiarelli) was, and under my watch, every game deserves top effort. I like the team we have, but in order to be the best, you have to have that mindset. And, if anyone disagrees in word or action, well.. things are subject to change. Period." Luomo recaptured his message in Wednesday's press conference.

Although the players received the talk as a bit overzealous, the effect was on display in Washington Sunday night. Marco Sturm scored his third on the season as part of a two goal first period to take the team lead. One more from Mark Recchi, and a fourth from Kriecji topped it all off as the Caps were outshot 2 to 1 and out-hit similarly.
