From that blog, the official announcement (http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=8882).
Will David Leneveu challenge Jonas Hiller for a backup spot in Anaheim this season (assuming JS Giguere is healthy all season)? Is he done, or does he still have 'gas in the tank'? It was a good move for him to go to the Rangers. Is Anaheim known for giving a guy like him a shot, or will he be given the same treatment he got in Phoenix?
Ken Dryden will be a playable character in NHL09.

I'm still wondering why every single fan in the stands is Matthew Fox.

It's a sneak peak of the next season of Lost. Things get crazier.

Most people under age 40 can't imagine a hockey goalie not looking like Bibendum the Michelin man.

No. Whoever "rendered" Dryden probably can't picture a goalie who looked as gangly as he did, given the way goalies are puffed up with padding today (see exhibit A, David LeNeveu). There was a time when goalies in uniformlooked like...well...human beings.

Wacey Rabbit? Shouldn't that be Wascally Wabbit?
On this blog by the Alberni Valley Bulldogs' announcer, there is a short mention of Krantz's invitation to camp:

Scroll down in the Monday September 8th entry to see a letter from Krantz's dad to the blogger.
(This is also Chris Moulson's current team, if you scroll down further, you'll see pictures of him displaying the team's 3rd jersey.)

Chris needs to add some mass to those eyebrows if he wants to get them up to playing size.
