Conversations on The Road

“Living Legend” is what his comrades at the Montreal Gazette like to call Red Fisher. And, it’s an accurate description.

Red Fisher has been covering the Montreal Canadiens since 1954. A member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, he has seen alot -from teh days of the Rocket, Clarence Campbell, Toe Blake and Punch Imlach through Jean Beliveau, Danny Gallivan, Dick Irvin, Bobby Orr and Gut Lafleur.

Mr. Fisher shares some of his experience and wisdom with us. We spoke for a while but it was not long enough. We could have kept going for hours. But here is what we’ve got in what was for me a special conversation.
