NHL All-Star Game Video: Carey Price Snubs Zdeno Chara
So the NHL All-Stars did their draft yesterday and Habs goaltender, Carey Price, was selected by Team Chara.
This is perhaps a bit of a surprise considering Zdeno Chara's assistant for the draft was Joffrey Lupul, of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Talk about a Northeast team!

After that, he posed with Lupul and then completely walked past Chara and...
