The man said that the exchange escalated from friendly banter into 'aggressive homophobic slurs.'
A Boston Bruins fan says that he was physically assaulted by a group of three men because of his sexual orientation following his team's game against the Colorado Avalanche.
"At first, it was more of a hockey banter type of thing from them, 'Oh you lost,' 'What do you think about that hit,' that type of thing," Shaw told KMGH-TV."I remember saying something along the lines of 'We'll get you next time.'" "From there, they tackled me to the ground and were calling me f*g, gay," Shaw recalled."My head was in my arms, and I was kind of in a ball while they were like, kicking me and punching me."
