It wasn't a check. Looked to be more of the board battle engine mentioned earlier, as it looks as if Regehr shields the puck with his feet as Hemsky bounces off.
Also, the fighting engine looks neat, as there are actual stars when your avatar get's clocked in the head.
The 2 goalie animations that I noticed were both of the off the shoulder type saves, where, instead of the puck bouncing and just dribbling down the goalie, they either catch the puck, or in the case of the 2nd animation, they spin around and bat it out of the crease.
No mention of the change in passing, which IMHO will affect everybody. (more realistic, and less arcadey, but some people will not adapt at all and there will be complaints. Unless they don't pass and just shoot.)
