Glen Healy... everything this guy saids is always negative towards the Leafs
you can just tell he hates the Leafs
Wouldn't be as annoying if his criticisms were at least fair / substantiated.
If both teams on a game make the same mistake you'd hear Healy point it out ONLY against the Leafs over and over. He's also good at taking unnecessary small jabs against the Leafs whenever he can - I still remember his remarks about the imaginary Jeopardy game.
I go beyond annoyed and into hatred for Garrett. He sees himself as the voice for Toronto hating Western Canadians. But he comes across as a terrible hypocrite. He'll knock guys on the same panel as him for loving the Leafs(And these people all say the Leafs are terrible), yet he'll turn around and pick the Canucks to win the cup every single year and is the biggest homer around.
I think Peter Loubardias should be mentioned more. He really knows his stuff when it comes to the CHL, one of the best, but it takes forever to get a sentence out of his mouth. He also over exaggerates sentences a lot. And the way he drooled over RNH and Drouin during Canada's selection camp streams on Fasthockey was way overboard.
Also, I pretty much hate any analyst on TSN when the WJC comes around. I'm glad they got a little more humbled and changed their approach since Canada lost the last two years. I still remember them talking like they had it in the bag after the round robin in 2011, gave little to no respect to other countries, especially that arrogant James Duthie. Half the reason why fans of Team Canada go into a frenzy after a bad period is because of how these guys break down the games. Way to much over hype.

I remember this past season when Toronto was playing Ottawa and Erik Karlsson scored on his own net, Healy just brushed it off as a mistake and never brought it up again. Had that been Jake Gardiner who did the exact same thing Healy would have had a field day saying how horrible it was.

During the 2006-2007 season after Tomas Kaberle got that concussion from Cam Jansen the next day when his suspension was announced, Garrett actually said the NHL only did that because it happened to a Toronto player and they were going to make it a big deal if nothing was done.

And that's an embarrasing comment for an analyst to say.
Would any other NHL team be stripped of a draft pick like the Leafs were for the Frogren signing? How about being fined for Wilson hacvng a bet with his players? (Calgary actulaly talked to the media about the same thing and nothing happened).
The NHl has come down very tough on the Leafs over the years. Certainly Bettman's sweetheart expansion teams would never face penalties like that.

Wow, Don Taylor makes the list? I know he's a bit of a Schmucks homer but he is from BC so I think he has the right to cheer for his homies. Anyhoo, he has some funny schticks and does a great Paul Morris impersonation.
