Meaningless quibble: ‘Dominate’ (with a capital D) is occasionally used as a noun by historians of ancient Rome. Some call the late Roman Empire the ‘Dominate’, because the emperor was an absolute ruler (dominus), as opposed to the early empire or ‘Principate’, when the emperor was theoretically no more than the first member of the Senate (princeps).
Now, if this were a game between the Ottawa Senators and the Atlanta Gladiators (both fine ECHL teams), maybe one could speak of a ‘Dominate’ performance. Like, it reminds one of the late Roman Empire because one of the teams is declining and falling? But not otherwise, and not tonight.
Unless, I suppose, there's a record of ancient Romans setting a panther on fire in the arena. That might be a ‘Dominate’ thing to do.
