    Carey Price’s near spit-take in NHL All-Star Draft after Lupul pick (Video)

    By Greg Wyshynski | Puck Daddy – Thu, Jan 26, 2012 9:25 PM EST

    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.

    Needless to say, Price may not have anticipated the selection:

    Nothing like getting your name pulled with a mouth full of, ahem, beverage. Alas, the greatest spit-take in recent sports history did not come to pass.

    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?

    UPDATE: Price said he didn't see Chara, and that he gave Chara a "point" and told him that he felt bad about not shaking his hand. Chara took the blame, saying he was looking down at the computer. So there you go.

        Insult to injury. You're picked last, and to compensate, you're given a #$%$ vehicle. Thanks

      Haha, he left Chara looking so dopey there! Definitely not on purpose though. Not his style. Stone 'em all, Pricey!

        It's a sideshow not an awards show for all there hard work.
        Stop ur complaining weiner!!
        The ottawa fans made it compelling.

        This isn't toronto were the lower bowl seats are completely empty while the suits blow each other upstairs.

        I know ur not used to atmosphere but it's actually nice to see and hear.
        The booing that is not the blowing.
        Don't get any ideas.
        Brian Burke isn't in the building.

        Hell feel better after Brian Burke tells him what to do again. Waiting on the next Burke statement.
        I'm guessing it has something to do with bend over.

      It's not news,but believe me it wasn't a mistake, because why would any Habs player make a truce with big Lurch for any reason.Need a reason.Try Max Paceretti.

      "Couldn't see Chara?!" They could see him from the moon. He's a 7' tall giant. How do you NOT see him??? C'mon Price, there are better excuses than that..

      Of course, if Chara had simply said something in French, this would have never happened.

      Carey Price couldn't see Chara.
      He has this condition where he can't see someone without a soul.

      he needs as much liquid as possible to replace all the fluids he's losing from his armpits.

      What a big old gay Carey Price is. I really don't think he could have gayed it up any more than he just did.

      You know, I'm a die-hard Bruins fan and I can't help but kind of like Carey Price. I thought he was a good sport in that fight with Thomas and since they treat him like #$%$ in Montreal, I keep hoping he's going to pull a patrick roy on them and go win cups somewhere else.

      i'm laughing at all these Leaf fan comments about Ottawa fans not being classy...because we all know the Leafs fans would smile and clap politely at Daniel Alfredsson if this had gone down at the ACC, right? RIGHT? lol

      Honestly I think the lack of hand-shake was an accident, not a diss. But maybe the media should start stories claiming that Price was entitled to diss the Bruins Captain because Thomas dissed the US Pres.
