You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)

The Montreal Canadiens announced today that they are retiring Ken Dryden's jersey number on January 29th.

Dryden wore jersey #29 for his 8 season career in Montreal, in which he won 6 Stanley Cups, a Con Smythe, the Calder and 5 Vezinas. He was the reason I got into playing goal when I was a kid. Which is probably why you might recognize his mask as my Blogger avatar.

Congratulations to you, Mr. Dryden!
