Samsonov dangle helps Recchi earn Winter Classic Alumni Game MVP
Mark Recchi's still got it.
The right winger, who played 22 NHL seasons, scored two goals in Thursday's Winter Classic Alumni Game, leading the Boston Bruins to victory over some Montreal Canadiens greats and earning MVP honors to boot.
His second goal came courtesy of a wicked dangle and setup by 1998 NHL Rookie of the Year Sergei Samsonov.

Recchi scored for the Bruins at the 2010 Winter Classic, won a Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011, and announced his retirement shortly after the championship victory.
