Francis: Former Flames coach fun face of hockey in Nashville

NASHVILLE – The small crowd gathering near the entrance of Bridgestone Arena’s swanky Lexus Lounge suggests royalty of some sort has entered the room.

Given its proximity to the Predators dressing room perhaps Carrie Underwood has popped down to greet husband/captain Mike Fisher.

Maybe Keith Urban brought wife Nicole Kidman to meet some of the players, or Blake Shelton could have dropped in for a drink.

Upon closer inspection it’s revealed the focal point of fan adoration is a 74-year-old from Parry Sound, Ont., whose last name isn’t Orr, has never played guitar and can’t sing a lick: Terry Crisp.
