Racial attacks: Hockey player responds: When Joel Ward helped send the Washington Capitols to the second-round of the playoffs, he was rewarded by a barrage of racist Tweets. In response, he said today, “I’m doing OK. I just want the team to win. That’s the main focus for me. You can’t let somebody make a few comments and take away from what we just accomplished, and it was a big victory. I’m just more upset about the fact that it took away a lot of accolades for guys like Braden Holtby, who played all those games and worked so hard. And now, the fact that people want to turn it into a couple comments a few fans made about myself is just terrible.”
