I rarely complain about broadcasters, especially former NHLers. Frankly, I don't mind Weekes and Stock doing their intermission schtick. I think Hrudey and Simpson are both adequate colour guys. But, Glenn Healy is an absolutely terrible broadcaster, and CBC should really consider the quality of their product if they think he should be part of it.

As many have noted, a lot of the things he says are wrong or illogical. But that's not the worst of it. On air he's rude, insulting and condescending, often to colleagues, many times to/about the players, and occasionally to the fans themselves. Who wants to watch that? I can't believe there aren't many more qualified and properly entertaining former NHLers who would do a much better job.

Get rid of this bozo already.
