RIP Russ Conway

[Corky Ramirez up on 94th St.]

if you know hockey, you know him. Pretty remarkable he took down Eagelson from a paper in Lawrence, Mass.

Met him about 20 years ago at some journalism conference in Mass. Nice guy. Saw him leave in a blue Corvette.

I met him at a high school football game in the early 90s. He really knew his ****.

As I remember, he was very passionate about auto racing, too.

"Game Misconduct" was a great -- albeit maddening -- book.

I actually met and hung out with him in South Florida watching hockey games about 5 years ago or so when he would come down from Mass. Definitely sad to hear

Very sad news. RIP.

I would’ve sworn he was older than 70.

Ah, the days when a paper like the Eagle-Trib would actually cover Boston teams.
