Bruin Aaron Ward Set to Play, Is Officially Badass

As if at this point we needed a reason to like Aaron Ward, the Bruins defenseman is set and ready to play tonight's big Game 6 against Carolina. Speaking to the media for the first time since he was sucker-punched by Scott Walker late in the third period of Game 5 on Sunday night, Ward described Walker's hit and resulting comments as "a joke" (Ed. note: "funny are you kidding me," not "funny haha"), adding that he didn't exchanged words with Walker before the hit. Doctors wanted Ward to wear a shield during tonight's game, but the player said, ""I haven't worn one in 16 years. I'm not going to start now."

And then there's this:

Ward also took a shot at his former GM Jim Rutherford, who in a statement implied that it was the Bruins who’d been taking liberties with his players and that the ‘Canes simplpy reached a point where they could take no more.
“I know Jimmy’s a pretty staunch Republican but I didn’t know he brought Karl Rove in here to spin it for him,” said Ward.
