Watching the Washington Capitals parade around with the Stanley Cup was Don Fishman's dream. It's what he thought about as a young man watching Rod Langway patrol the ice at the Cap Centre. It's what he pondered as he watched Olaf Kolzig deflect pucks when the franchise made its only previous Cup Final. It's what he couldn't believe happened during Game 5 in Las Vegas, when Fishman quickly changed out of his Capitals jersey into a suit and made his way down to the ice to join the team's other executives in celebration.
"I always hoped to see it, but I never really planned on it," Fishman said.
