from Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette,
...Twenty-three years later, Bob Fisher is still sweating the details.
He was on Bell Centre ice this past Monday at 9 a.m., the empty risers in front of him awaiting the 2009-10 Canadiens for the first of two team photos that he’ll shoot this centennial season. A second will be taken after the March 3 trade deadline, of the roster the club hopes will skate into the playoffs.
“But this is the most historic picture I’ve ever done,” Fisher said, admitting that nerves kept him awake most of the night before. “This is (essentially) the team that will be playing on Dec. 4, the Canadiens’ 100th birthday.
“People are going to talk about this picture 50 years after I’m dead. They’ll ask: ‘Who was there in the centennial season?’ Well, this is the team.”
One hundred years ago, the first team photo of the pre-NHL National Hockey Association Canadiens was merely a montage of 11 players and league official Eddy McCafferty. This image, signed by Albert Dumas, was a template for many photos to come, mug shots or frozen poses cobbled into a single print.
