20 Questions from Sean Fitz-Gerald of the National Post.
Early in your broadcasting career, you told a reporter: “You can’t be Don Cherry, you can’t be Harry Neale.” Who did Glenn Healy turn out to be?
GH: Honest. I think the fans deserve it. In this country, they are so educated about our game, our sport. And they deserve some honesty. I’m not going to show up to a game with a ‘Captain Obvious’ hat on.
The green men in Vancouver, John Tortorella, Roberto Luongo, Alexander Ovechkin and his mother: Is there a criticism you’ve made on air that you would take back?
GH: [pauses for 10 seconds] Um, no. No. No. No. You can’t stick a crotch in a guy’s face in the penalty box, can you? Was I wrong about Tortorella? No. And you know, quite frankly, I met the Green Men after, and the one thing I said to them is: ‘Don’t let anyone know who you are, because if they find out who you are, you’ll never get hired.’ Like, job qualification? ‘I stick my crotch in another man’s face.’ Sorry. Doesn’t work.
