Boston Bruins fan, Kris Griffin, was watching game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in a designated downtown ‘fan zone’, when he began to get pushed and spat on by Vancouver Canucks fans. He says the crowd around him became more hostile as the game progressed, causing him to remove his Bruins jersey. However, a group of four or five people still proceeded to kick and punch him to the ground. He was attacked again, multiple times, while trying to stop the riots that unfolded as the game wound down.
