Fire Dan Snyder Guy has become a DC sports icon following his photograph in Game 5 of the NHL Playoffs between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. He first attracted attention due to his comedic shirt that read "Fire Dan Snyder Guy," but has grown to represent the larger DC sports fan base who have not seen a championship in their town since 1992. Since his fame, the Washington Capitals are 2-0 after being down 3-1 in their series, and the Washington Wizards are 1-0 and have tied their series against the Boston Celtics. He is being called a symbol of hope for all of DC sports.
