Full Flyers and Bruins teams out on the benches for the Mark Recchi Flyers HOF ceremony. Recchi played for both, but still a real classy move by Bruins to be out there too.

Flyers Alumni win 6-2: A pair of goals for the special one Mark Recchi Mike Richards netted a shorty LeClair to Lindros just like old times What a night a special one 📸: @rob_windfelder https://t.co/BUXFyUV2Tr
Flyers alumni win by 6-2 final score. Fun night and a great presentation by the Flyers and Flyers Charities. Fans got to see Recchi celebrate his looming Flyers HOF induction in style (two goals), Mike Richards score a SHG, and the LeClair-Lindros connection score once more.
OK, I gotta admit, that was cool seeing Mike Richards score a shorthanded goal in a Flyers jersey one more time.
Storybook type of first goal. Mike Richards to Mark Recchi, who is being inducted into Flyers Hall of Fame tomorrow. https://t.co/wnS0dW4aGI
Fittingly, Recchi scores on a pass from Richards. Recchi will go into the #Flyers’ HOF Saturday. https://t.co/4bsN5KLMGH
