Failed Proposal A Hoax

Sources with New York’s Madison Square Garden said a failed marriage proposal during the Rangers-Tampa Bay Lightning game was a hoax. The proposal, which came at 10:19 in the second period during the Valentine’s Day game, purported to be from “Nick,” who asked “Melissa” to be his “Blueshirt Bride.” The video, which rapidly spread across YouTube, shows the woman becoming angry at the proposal while the man chases her out of the stands. The sources said the event was a hoax perpetrated by the couple without the knowledge of Garden officials.
