Mark Recchi of the Penguins scored his 500th goal in a 4-3 SO win over Dallas yesterday. His 500th tied the game at 3-3 with just over 8:00 left in the game, ultimate sending the game to the shootout. So what does this say about Recchi's career?

Welcome! Always good to have another Pens fan on the boards!

So, re: Recchi... is he Hall of Fame great, or Close but No Cigar great? What do you think?

Yes he should be in the Hall.

Wow that felt weird to say.

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw Rex back in a Pens uniform, I was very critical of him. Even up until 20 games into this season. He was slow, didn't backcheck very well and didn't compliment Sidney at all. But then something happened and he changed all of that. He's the best winger on the Pens right now (unless you count the switch for Staal to play wing) and his speed has drastically increased. He's playing like he did in his prime and for that I'm thankful for. I would love to see him raise the Stanley Cup here in Pittsburgh one last time.
