| 0:45.7 | JJ, we're going to be slightly off schedule here because as we're taping this podcast, |
| 0:49.8 | the Capitals have played 21 games. |
| 0:52.0 | But it's better when we look at reviews and talk about round numbers and 20s, the number that we kind of did this with on the pregame show when you wrote about it and all those. So we're going to say for the beginning of this, it's going to be about the capitals in their first 21 games. Although I will say this, I don't know why people always want round numbers. Why can't we just pick arbitrary numbers to group together and make a review? Like the first 17 games of the season. I don't know. Anyway, |

So I was, you know, making it a little weirder. But all right. So if we're going to do it this way, JJ, I'd say let's start with just the overall job that Peter Lovie let's done. |
| 1:45.5 | Because like there's a million storylines and, |
| 1:46.8 | and I don't care, man, I'd say let's start with just the overall job that Peter Lovillette's done. |
| 1:45.5 | Because like there's a million storylines. And I don't care, man, like you can throw in whatever you want and the things that stood out to you. |
