ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have signed forward Joel Rechlicz to an entry-level contract and recalled him and forward Cody Eakin from the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL), vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today.
You can read the full press release here. I’m sure no one is surprised by the recall of Cody Eakin, but Joel Rechlicz was a little of a surprise to this blogger. I’m sure it is leaving many in Washington wondering who he is. Assuming that you read the official press releases from Hershey and/or Washington, you can look up all we have to offer by clicking here. I can sum it up for you. He’s a great guy off the ice. On the ice, he is a tremendous worker. I’m sure you have drawn your own conclusion, but yes he will drop the gloves in a heartbeat.
As I started writing, “Joel Rechlicz” was trending #5 in Washington on Twitter. Go get ’em, Joel!!
And just in case you’re reading this (since you said you would check out the blog), it was nice to talk to you…

No surprise to see Eakin return as it was mostly a paper transaction and chance for Eakin to play during All Star Break. Surprised to see Rechlisz get called up. I’ll be the first to admit that his last name makes me think of the word “reckless”. All in all, a great last name for an enforcer. (Don’t know the word’s actually meaning in Polish as it looks like a Polish name to me.)
Watch him have some hidden talent for scoring.
