  • jesus christ are you serious with that song? i like Ron Francis as much as the next guy but common...how am i supposed to watch this with that song on?

  • @erikmania it seems appropriate imo. Ron Francis was an absolutely warrior and workhorse. He was a rock.

  • @hockeybo71 that may be...but i mean...the song is just terrible...that's all i'm saying.

  • most underrated player

  • i shook his hand last Tuesday!!

  • i was a the game when the canes retired his jersey.they all wore the #10 jersey during warm-ups.when they raised the banner and ronny skated with his sons on the ice for the last time, i wasnt the only one crying.luv u ron!!!

  • My Favorite Penguin....RETIRE THE 10....

  • The video is good though, have to recognize that.

    I am guessing that the only reason why you can't get Whalers gear is because Karmanos owns the rights to it and won't allow it to be made and sold?

  • Thanks for the video. It brought tears to my eyes!

  • As a Rangers fan, I'll never forget Francis's blue line shot that went past Richter in 1992. To this day I say if that goal doesn't go in, Rangers win the cup in 1992. I'll always hate him lol.

  • As an Islanders fan I couldn't beileve it either.

    Then I laughed my ass off and went to bed. lol

  • Ron Francis had a AFRO???

    Wow, the guy will be remember as a whaler/hurricane

  • White people don't have afro's, it's a Mullet.

  • He'll always be a Pen in my eyes!

  • Same for me. This is easily one of the best player tribute videos on YouTube. Very well made. And ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building..

  • Cptfrancis21 beats off the Whalers games and thinks Francis really wanted to stay in a nowhere organization like the Whalers. You played in a fucking mall, and.....NO ONE went to Whalers games. You were dead last in attendance every year, you didn't deserve a franchise.

  • The Whalers actually had one of the top attendance rates of individual fans. It was the corporate support that was lacking. And just so you know, he was devastated when he was first traded and pretty bitter at first. (well,as bitter as a classy guy like him can be) Of course, if he was going to be traded there was no better place at the time to go. He used to live in my hometown and I ran into him the summer after the trade and Cup win and we had a nice conversation about this.

  • I disagree with the support, everytime I went up there the place was dead.

    JCPenny's was more packed then that arena.lol

  • umm dude! everybody loved the whalers! i mean everyone in hartford love the whalers. how u feel when they moved yur favorite team to some place. it like u lost someone close.

  • The Whalers gave the cup to the Pens when they absolutley HOSED the Whalers on that trade.lol The Whalers would've never won the cup regardless, wait, they wouldn't be in Cuntneticunt in the coming years. My bad.

  • my office manager at work is his sister in law

  • yeah.. thats why they won the cup last year.

  • fuck off fag, you have no right to stay that

    get a life

  • thats very very well done

  • brings a tear to my eye.. :-(

  • i love the video Mr. Francis is one of my all time favorite players but why did you have to put a country song? let alone the silverado truck song? why does everyone use country to ruin hockey?

  • because it symbolizes Francis... "i was something to see, like a rock" He was the Canes rock for years. Its more a Ron Francis song than a silverado song!

  • It's not country, it's Bob Seger, it's light classic rock.

  • meh, light classic rock borders so much on it because of the twang they use in the guitars and the way its played

  • dads favorite player, hall of famer

  • He was a great player and is a very special person and is still involved in the community. He started the Hurricanes success. Thank you Ron Francis. Its still a joy to watch videos of your playing.

  • Ronny Franchise is the greates Hartford Whaler ever... seeing the old days of Adams Division with him and Dineen is priceless.....

  • hes so nice!

  • He is my schools varsity Softball Assistant coach! i heard he wants to start a hockey team at my school too!

  • Ron Francis is the man. I'm glad he played for the Hurricanes. By the way, what school do you go to?

  • Who couldn't like Ron Francis? Great video!
