Ward’s triumphant goal was especially crushing for Bruins fans who expected the team to fare better in defending their Stanley Cup title. Goalie Tim Thomas graciously tapped Ward on the chest in the handshake line and was seen encouraging fans to smile before he left the ice - a sharp contrast to the Bruins loyalists who resorted to digital hate speech.
