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?

It was Allan Maki that made the article calling for Crisp to be fired, they even talked to him on Sports at 11 about the story. He said the players tuned him out, and that's why the Flames lost to a terrible team in the first round. After the article came out Crisp was gone in days.
