Kudos to Mark Recchi for his resurengence with Atlanta. The Penguins put him on waivers and and then assigned him to the AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre. The Thrashers picked him up on re-entry waivers and it seems that he's amazingly rejuvinated. Likewise, Curtis Joseph was idle (and only needs one more game to tie Terry Sawchuck for fourth place on all-times wins) -- the Senators had expressed interest, but had made no official offer. Finally, the Flames signed him to a one-year deal.
I know that putting people on waivers is part of the business of hockey and that it shouldn't be personal, but I have to believe that both Recchi and Joseph are hoping to thrash their former teams. I know I would. It's not personal, but if you're told you can't do something or are washed up, it's always nice to prove that wrong. Cheers to both of them.
