Recchi is a legend - enough said.

Did anyone think he would have 10-15 good years left still when we dumped him?

I think he's referring to the Philadelphia trade in 92.

Recchi Watch:

Howe:
Most NHL games played (1767)
Oldest NHL player at time of retirement (52)
Oldest person to play in an NHL game (52), also only player to play in the NHL after age 50
Only player to play in the NHL in five different decades (1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s)

The Rug:
Most NHL games played (currently 1571 at the break and ranked 9th all time -next up Ray Bourque at 1612 and Larry Murphy at 615, but he tied Ray and passed Larry for seasons played already this season)
Oldest NHL player at time of retirement (TBD currently 42/3 Feb 1st birthday)
Oldest person to play in an NHL game (TBD currently 42/3 Feb 1st birthday)
Only player to play in the NHL in five different decades (curently 4 decades - 1980s, 1990s, 2000, and 2010 -not likely for sure)

I'm thinking there's a place for him somewhere in the HOF.

I was just watching those Gary Roberts Fedko pranks and they made me think of Racchi's rug for some reason. I had to check up on it. Glad to see there are current posts.

I'd really like to ask isotope (the OP) what this was originally all about.

The Racchi's Rug episode of Seinfeld was on tonight. A bit of investigative work yielded this as well.
