From that blog, the official announcement.

[The Rancor]

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?

[The Rancor]

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.
