One memory I have about Crisp’s firing. In the middle of their first round loss to the Kings, Crisp was caught on camera blowing his nose in his tie. In LA I believe. Flames fell behind 3 - 1 in the series and one of the local writers, Eric D. Or Steve Simmons, called for his firing on the spot, before the Series was over. Not purely related to the snot blowing incident. Seems like more of a Simmons call than an Eric D. One but I can’t be sure. Anyway he was fired and it was widely believed that he had totally lost the team. They hated him.
Does anyone remember this differently?
