With their seventh pick of the 2012 NHL All-Star Game Fantasy Draft, captain Zdeno Chara and assistant Joffrey Lupul wanted to take a goaltender. Lupul, a Toronto Maple Leafs forward, decided to reach across enemy lines and select Carey Price from the arch rival Montreal Canadiens.

Now where's the handshake for Captain Chara, Mr. Price? We'll just chalk it up to the confusion in the moment, not the bitter and deep animosity between the Bruins and Habs. Right?
