Recchi Clears Waivers

According to TSN, the Recchin Ball has cleared waivers this morning. So no other team wants him either, eh? What now for ol Rex? Can't believe he'll accept a trip to the minors and it seems like his relationship with Therrien is beyond repair.

Darren Dreger thinks Recchi's not done and has something to prove even if he has to go to the minors.

Stay tuned.

Recchi's Pens Career Over?

Love the Recchin' Ball but it's time he retires or plays significantly fewer minutes. And today, he's been placed on waivers, meaning any other team can claim him. His Pens career is probably over. He was a great Pen, a key part of the 91 Cup team, but it's time.

Here he is scoring a late goal in 91 vs the Devils:


And here is one last one, welcoming him back to the Burgh, but it also includes perhaps his biggest goal as a Pen, his game winner in game 6 of the Wales Finals vs Boston, a classic Recchi wrister:


UPDATE: Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail thinks this might be end of Recchi's career.
