The man took his shirt off at a New York Islanders vs Panthers hockey match to reveal his chest with 'Plz say yes yes yes' written on it.
Cheers erupted around the couple as he got on one knee much to the shock of his partner, with some heard chanting "just say no".
The mystery woman had a brief exchange with her boyfriend before emotionally fleeing the scene, leaving him to return to his seat in despair.
He was seen quietly picking up his beer as attention soon turned back to the game.

It is unclear whether the woman returned to the seats, but NHL writer Dan Rosen suggested she "flat out left".
One witness said the man was sat shirtless and "tearing up" for two minutes after his big gesture backfired.
Responding to claims that it was fake, they said: "I was there and it was most certainly not fake."

Meanwhile, the official New York Islanders Twitter account shared a post saying: "Did she say yes or no? #IslesNation needs to know."
The evening continued to worsen for the New York fan after the Florida Panthers scored just seconds after the proposal.
They went on to win their opening game of the NHL season 3-1.
