ASHBURN, Va. -- Right after practice ended Wednesday, Washington Redskins long-snapper Nick Sundberg sprinted off the field. He paused briefly for an interview with one stipulation: It couldn’t be long. He had a plane to catch to Las Vegas -- and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final for what could be a clinching win Thursday.
Sundberg has attended many Washington Capitals games during his first eight seasons in Washington. He was at Game 4 on Monday when the Capitals took a 3-1 series lead. He’s seen, and felt, the hysteria.
“We had to get there four hours early because we knew so many people would be down there,” he said.
