    So it's not ok to hate a team's style of play while still giving them credit for executing their gameplan? The Capitals deserved to win the series. The Bruins shouldn't have let it get to OT of game seven. That doesn't mean you have to like the way Washington played.

    It involves Boston...he can't resist.

        My mistake, I didn't catch the deadspin link in there at first. Anyway, by the looks of it, most if not all of those posts seem to be from high school kids or younger. Not an excuse, just a sign of their immaturity and stupidity. Pretty disturbing. They must feel empowered by Twitter and even untouchable if you will--except for their real names being listed. Idiots.

        Even so, to say that that reaction represents Boston is foolish.

            Bruins officials apologize.

            The Boston Bruins released a statement apologizing after several people — many purporting to be the team's fans — directed racist slurs at Joel Ward, the Game 7 winning goal scorer for the Washington Capitals.

            "The Bruins are very disappointed by the racist comments that were made following the game last night," the statement read. "These classless, ignorant views are in no way a reflection of anyone associated with the Bruins organization."
            Meanwhile, Joel Ward is brushing it all off. Don Cherry will be proud of him!

            Ward told USA Today that it was "shocking to see," but that the comments didn't "ruin his day."

            "It doesn't faze me at all," he said. "We won, and we are moving on. … People are going to say what they want to say."

            Ward added that he has never experienced any racist remarks during his time in the NHL.

            Ward said he thought it was "just kids" posting those comments.

            "It has no effect on me whatsoever. I've been playing this game long enough and I've not had any encounters of that nature."

            Ward said a lot of Boston fans have also offered up support.

              I'm sorry for my comment about Joel ward I'm not a racist person my emotions just got the best of me. Im very sorry and for hurting anyone.
              High School Junior @Clifford_BigRed is from Ontario (and looking at his timeline, has severe anger issues). He's a racist bastard.
              High School Senior @JDevine04 is from Southwick, MA
              Sorry everyone, caught up in the moment last night. i appologize for the inappropriate insult. Goodluck caps and Ward.
              High School kid (don't know what year) @zakturco is from Raleigh, NC.
              High School kid @rawrimdinoJessi from Pembroke also retweeted this :
              Who killed Osama? A Black guy (OBAMA) Who killed the Bruins? A Black Guy (WARD) #RealNiggasGet****Done hahaha
              @wucastyler is a Ranger fan, not a Bruin fan.
              High school kid @GeraldHart635 is from Eastern Mass (I think Gloucester)
              Not sure how old @SteezyDABASSGO is, but his timeline is filthy as hell. He did tweet this, though...
              we didnt burn down our city, were still not the worst
              @csully30 appears to be a high school kid from Nashoba High in Bolton, MA.
              @Flesher91 is also a high school kid from Ontario.
              @JoeDaaboul is a high school kid from Walpole.
              @AnthonyMorose is a high school kid, I'm not able to determine where.

              So of the 12 people cited in that post, 10 were high school kids (maybe 11 depending on that Steezy guy).
              2 were high schoolers from Ontario.
              1 was a high schooler from North Carolina.
              6 are from Massachusetts.

              Still think this is representative of "blue-collar Boston" or "salt of the earth Southie types"? I follow a bunch of Bruins fans and the subject of his race never came up.

                And, ironically, Ward is from Scarborough, Ontario.

                Two points in evidence in all of this:

                1) Racists are everywhere

                2) Some people should not have access to the internet.

                  It may also mean you have good judgement about which Bruins fans to follow. Note that of all the Bruins fans I know, not one would make those remarks either.
