Some disagreed with the decision. Some scratched their heads. But I and several others knew that the right decision had been made. Where Ronnie Francis was Speaker of the House, Rod Brind’amour had been the Whip. He was the one who set an example, who helped keep the troops in line. When Ron left, it was up to Rod to step forward and finally–at long last–take the place that had been prepared for him and lead the clan. The Hurricanes had given him the stability that the Flyers could never give him, and he showed his gratitude the best way he knew how: by doing his best and inspiring his teammates to do the same.

(9/14/05) I just wanted to say a hearty "Thank you!!" to your comments about stopping the Ronnie bashing, especially now that the dude has retired. So far, there has actually not been any Francis bashing today, save for the one or two slight zings at LetsGoCanes. But then again, it's LGC. Anyhoo, it's been two years since the "trade", people...give it a rest. At least for the sake of those who are "insane" like yours truly.
