It was great to see Mark Recci score the winning shoot-out goal against his former club, the Pittsburg Penguins, last night.   Since joining Atlanta, Recci has 16 points in 17 games and has proven he still has what it takes to compete in the NHL.

I was quite disgusted with Michel Therrien with how he benched Recci and said that the 1300+ point getter didn’t have what it takes to play in the NHL anymore.  A 19 year veteran, Recci is clearly proving his worth to the Thrashers.  A guy like Recci definitely deserved better than to be benched and waived by the Pens.  I would have liked to see the Oilers pick him up, they could use the veteran leadership.
