What do you do when you give up a game-tying goal but it is scored by a friend, former teammate and all-around class act?

You do what Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo did.
Henrik Sedin scored a goal for his
milestone 1,000th career point
on Friday. He is the first Vancouver Canucks player to hit 1,000 points and he scored it against the Panthers to tie the game 1-1 in the second period.
Celebrate Henrik Sedin's milestone
Luongo, left on his back with the puck in the net, quickly gathered himself and, in a gracious and beautiful moment of sportsmanship skated up to Sedin to congratulate him on the achievement.
Sedin shook his hand and gave the goalie a quick tap on the helmet.

Luongo was the Canucks goalie for nearly eight full seasons before he was traded to the Panthers in May of 2014. Sedin, of course, has spent his entire career (his rookie season was 2000-01) in Vancouver.
After the handshake the Canucks played a tribute video to the team's captain.
