On Friday, Joel Ward signed a 3-year contact with the San Jose Sharks. We presume the Sharks are signing Ward for the same reason the Caps did – his relatively solid postseason numbers. This year he had 9 points in 14 games, plus a winner with 1.3 seconds left in the game.
Ward’s nickname was “Big Cheese,” however, I remember him as having a big butt. In an interview with The Post’s Alex Prewitt on why so many pucks seem to bounce off him, Ward said his mother gifted him with a big butt which allowed him to get better position in front of the net.
