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.
