• Trib's Joe Starkey does a nice summary of Big Ben's top comebacks in his first 50 starts.
• Recchi's fate? He finally sits and the Pens win. If Therrien sticks to his guns, Recchi, Sudor and Armstrong will all sit again tonight vs the Rangers since the Pens won without them in the lineup. Recchi doesn't seem too happy about it:
  

  With a firm shake of his head and a quiet "No," Mark Recchi yesterday declined to talk about being a healthy scratch Thursday night for the Penguins' 3-2 win over the New York Islanders, which snapped a four-game losing streak.

• Hines may not be wrong, but he may be wrong if you ask him which 70s team had the best offense. Most people think the 78 team was the best because they began to throw the ball better and could still run well. But the point of offense is to score points and it is the 75 team that scored the most points in a season, in two less games than the 78 team played. The 75 team was an explosive squad that many people overlook.
• A few days ago, Empty Netters had this post about Sid and Geno's offensive contribution to the Pens being the highest of any two teammates. This was before the Isles game, it would be nice to see an updated table to include Big George's contributions.
