from Dave Stubbs of NHL.com,
One of the greatest and most respected observers of hockey the game has ever known died Friday at age 91. There isn't a player Red covered, an owner or general manager whose team he was around, or reader who absorbed his every typed or broadcast word who doesn't have a memory or a story to share.
For a few years at the Montreal Gazette, Red was my sports editor. For a few years, our roles would be reversed.
As crusty as he forever tried to make himself look, this is the Red Fisher I knew:
In many long talks, plumbing his reservoir of stories, I gained a great love of hockey history that I bring to many features about the game of yesterday.
