Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw apologized on Wednesday for "insensitive remarks" he made during his team's Stanley Cup playoff game when he appeared to shout a homophobic slur at officials.
After being assessed a penalty late in Tuesday's home loss to the St. Louis Blues, Shaw yelled at officials from the penalty box and video of the incident appeared to show him using a homophobic slur.
"I am sincerely sorry for the insensitive remarks that I made last night while in the penalty box," Shaw said in a statement. "When I got home and saw the video, it was evident that what I did was wrong, no matter the circumstances.
