This is how the call sounded on 106.7 The Fan on the day that D.C. sports changed forever:
"THE WORDS THAT D.C. FANS HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR SINCE 1974! THE WASHINGTON CAPITALS ARE THE 2018 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS! IT'S NOT A DREAM! IT'S NOT A DESERT MIRAGE!" @WaltonCaps' WITH THE #STANLEYCUP GAME-WINNING CALL pic.twitter.com/2gYtPHpfZl

Thanks for sharing, Will, and kudos on not jumping around in celebration.
