It saddens me to say that Francois has been traded to the Colorado Avalanche for a 3rd round draft choice in 1998.

Francois (Frankie) Leroux is one of my favorie FORMER Pens. I have a Leroux road jersey (as some of you know) In my opinion he is one of the best fighters in the NHL.

The above picture is Leroux crushing an opponent in his last season as a Pen. Frankie has been living up to his nickname of "Captain Crunch"

The above is a picture of the infamous Leroux vs. Twist fight in 1995. Leroux (as you can see) pounded Tony Twist to a pulp!
