Funny though, at the time I didn't notice.

For both the LA Kings and the Flames, Bozek was an Oiler nemesis. At that time he was a great checking forward, and played a big part in Bob Johnson’s multi-point plan to neutralize the Oilers’ offensive stars. Crisp didn’t seem to appreciate that, and I’ve always thought his inclusion in the Hull trade was a big part of the reason the Flames lost to the Oilers in the ‘88 playoffs.
