Glenn Healy was a hero to me in my childhood. I was a goalie from a modest income, Cole Harbour family where there was turmoil and no father. I met him when I was twelve years old at a Golf Tourney in Oakfield Nova Scotia, August 1992. We took a picture together and I had the presense of mind to ask him about his blocker hand injury. I saw on Sports Desk that he had actually lost part of a finger from an incident in practice. I was a small kid at twelve. I remember he playfully grabbed the brim of my hat. He left an impression on me. *Fast forward to March 9th 1994 . Rangers/Caps.neutral site game. I had miraculously scored a ticket to sit directly behind the New York Rangers Bench, right next to where they walk out onto the ice. This was the Cup year for that team. I sat and I observed. The men I marveled at in Sports Desk highlight reels and hockey cards were again right up in front of me. Early in the first period Mr Healy came to the bench and was getting his skate worked on by a trainer..... I held up the picture of he and I and ......honest to god he winked at me. That type of acknowledgment from a bonafied and ON the JOB, NHL goaltender in that era was very surreal . Etched permanently in my mind. I remember it to this very day. Thank you Mr Healy if you are reading this.
These whole interviews are evidence enough to do more. Bring on more of the greats, lunch pails, thumpers & suitcases. You guys are hitting it out of the park with these.
Absolutely the best one I've seen so far. This topped the Maroon/Janssen interview, and that's saying a lot. I didn't know Glenn Healy was so funny. Would love to see the Beezer or Eddie Jo, Brendan Shanahan, Fedorov, Kronwall, Eddie Belfour, Ray Borque...
yes it was harsh and undeserving. why keep beating him up and trying to make him feel stupid. ra seems like the nicest guy. I thought healy looked like an idiot at times in this interview. he honestly thought ryan was ray and said he didn't know biz's story. ....and this is the president of the nhl alumni? he's a moron if you ask me
I agree that he was going at him a lot, but I think he was just taking the piss. He was going at Whit with the Ray thing all interview, so I'd say he was just giving it to the boys and RA being one, got it just as much.
The middle men? No. Top shelf. You guys have brought out the soul of hockey. In many ways, expanding on why we love this game. It's all about the people, including the guy that picks up the towels.
I liked Glenn when he was the backup for Richter on the Rangers, he actually battled Ricther for the starting spot after getting to the Conference Finals with the Islanders in 1993.
I'm sure Glenn is truthful about never stopping a puck in 4 years against Turgeon lol he was an absolute monster during that era 58 goals and 132 points during one of those 4 seasons.
Healy's great, a real good egg. What a fuckin' hang that'd be. I remember him lipping Iron Mike in 94 for getting pulled after 1 goal against the Islanders at Nassau, whom Healy played for the previous year, amidst all that 1940 shit and the Rangers not winning there for 5 years. Imagine the trashings between Keenan and Healy lol btw The Rangers did beat the Islanders at Nassau that year and then win the Stanley Cup to boot. Arguably the best playoff series ever played sports wide was that years conference finals between the Rangers/Devils.
I realize that he's half kidding, but saying Turgeon was the only player is ridiculous. Steve Thomas and Ray Ferraro each scored over 400 goals in their careers.
The ability for players as individuals to make money off of their likeness. It basicly means they can profit off jersey sales with their name, hockey card sales, league sponsorship appearances, etc.
Healy never played with Whitney! Heals retired in 2001 ans Whitney was in Boston college…I think Healy is Actually confusing him for real with Ray Whitney🤣
Agree! For a guy who was meh in his career he acts like he's the second coming of Ken Dryden and/or Patrick Roy! And interviewing or being interviewed by 101...Know who you're speaking to jackwagon! y Ooooh but you created the in between benches broadcast spot! Big f-ing woop, you blowhard!
If you played goaltender growing up then your family was loaded... I'm a Canadian and i know if you can play hockey you are gold if you're a goaltender you're resting on an inheritance! Playing hockey growing up is a luxury and most kids i know can't afford it! And even with used equipment, most kid's dad are pulling double shifts and selling furniture and daughters to keep their kid's hopes and dreams alive in organize youth hockey all around the country... It's as big a scam here as those super churches are in the towns in USA...
Healy is a solid dude. Anyone in the comments here who is genuinely bashing him for being arrogant, too hard on RA, or any other bs...... The following explanations/reasons apply........ 1. They are not a guy (*qualifier: A normal/average dude **Second qualifier with actual friends IRL) 2. Obviously doesn't play/never played hockey or any real team sport after the age of 12 (*qualifier: and no, battle team/pvp Fortnite with your "crew" doesn't count as a team sport haha.) 3. Please look up the word: Sarcasm in Websters Dictionary 3a. Please look up "to Chirp" in any slang dictionary/translator. There are many more.... Please feel free to add! Heals deserves it!
Nah, Healy just comes across as annoying to me. The type of guy who would get his teeth knocked out during a night out for "chirping" the wrong person. He might be funny to canadian jocks with bro-humour though.
Glenn Healy was GREAT on HNIC but straight shooters like him and Don Cherry are not soft and gentle and upset all the PC little non-contact crowd. The league is getting way to soft today, its boring as hell.
Nah, Cherry is just a dinosaur, who is too stubborn to change his views to represent anything even resemblant to modern hockey. That's why he's out of a job, not his "non PC" presentation. Hockey is not PC and hopefully never will be, Cherry is just senile.
@@pedvetrus2711 ....What league are you watching dude? it's totally PC..... no hitting, no fighting, not allowed to get your emotions get the best of you and express your opinion... or you get suspended.... men are not longer allowed to be men calling Cherry a senile is a total insult and don't worry you'll be senile some day as well and younger people will think the same way about you..... have a nice day
@@memoranda1 Haha, hit a nerve old man? No hitting? Can you even see what you're watching or has the old age hit that hard? Guys going 100mph ramming eachother to the boards, I'd call that hitting.

That's a really cool story man!!
I hate if comments haha but that was really cool , obviously haha
What an awesome story
@cashtheyen Thank you Detective. Sugar for your coffee? :)
@cashtheyen I have an even BETTER story for a neutral site game, that very season.
Healy calling Whit' 'Ray' & shreddin' RA a new one
I've been thinking he was Ray.
Yet he's sitting in front of a lamp stand that looks like anal beads.
@@amandacowton3534 and doesn't flinch lmao
@@amandacowton3534 only a white chick would think that. 😂😂
Freakin love Glenn Healey, bring him back asap.
Healy just feeding RA right from the start is hilarious hahhahahah
update: just giving it to Harry Admiral all podcast im fucking dead boys
one of the best interviews yet. Healy is 100% right about bringing more personality to the game, which is exactly what you guys are doing
@M W Evander Kane is just an angry asshole
Indeed. This comment stand golden 2 years later 🤘
These whole interviews are evidence enough to do more. Bring on more of the greats, lunch pails, thumpers & suitcases. You guys are hitting it out of the park with these.
Kovalev out for 12 mins just loving the game and all its opportunities
11:30 Awesome analogy. “If we are going to have Christmas morning, I need to have baby Jesus in the manger”.
I did some work at Glenn's house east of Toronto last summer. He was working on something in the garage, said hello and continued on. Nice place.
Absolutely the best one I've seen so far. This topped the Maroon/Janssen interview, and that's saying a lot. I didn't know Glenn Healy was so funny.
Would love to see the Beezer or Eddie Jo, Brendan Shanahan, Fedorov, Kronwall, Eddie Belfour, Ray Borque...
Keep em coming. i could and have been listening to you guys all day then zooming with guys i played with and rehashing the old stories.
Bit harsh on RA, no? Guy started this thing
yes it was harsh and undeserving. why keep beating him up and trying to make him feel stupid. ra seems like the nicest guy. I thought healy looked like an idiot at times in this interview. he honestly thought ryan was ray and said he didn't know biz's story. ....and this is the president of the nhl alumni? he's a moron if you ask me
Softies
I always thought Healy came across as a complete prick and this interview does nothing to change my mind.
I agree that he was going at him a lot, but I think he was just taking the piss. He was going at Whit with the Ray thing all interview, so I'd say he was just giving it to the boys and RA being one, got it just as much.

Glenn is a class act, hes always been one. A real character. I nominate him to tale over for Don Cherry. Thank you Glenn for our cup in 94.
healy seemed like a real dink taking shots at RA the whole time.
"2200 in the 80s is close to a million now" classic biz math
Holy $hit, wow what an interview boys. That was awesome!
I liked Glenn when he was the backup for Richter on the Rangers, he actually battled Ricther for the starting spot after getting to the Conference Finals with the Islanders in 1993.
What an Awesome interview!
what a hilarious guy, smart and just taking the piss out of everyone including himself haha
Love Healy. What an interesting entertaining career he had. He’s paying it back now too. Good show boys.
This is the best of all of the interviews so far .. absolutely hilarious. Healy taking the PISS out of all of them ..in good humour
I remember that series in '93 against the Pens...Darius Kasparaitis aka the 'Lethal Lithuanian' was a wrecking ball.
Biz expected the “that was my GPA” line to kill and it just bombed so hard
Made me laugh
Thank for helping out the Coast players. My son plays there and can sure use a few bucks, lol. Thank again.
You guys need to have Darren McCarty on here. Bet that guy has some insane stories
Yes!!!!!!! Make it happen biz n ra
Dmac, Drapes, Malts, and Joey K all need to be on...The stories they could tell.
FMichael1970 Grind line baby!
They already had him on
Marvin Santana theyre not really goons but good point
Love how he says Whit played against him.... retired in 2000 lol
This dude Healy is a character, his punchlines were hilarious.. I was literally lmaooooo 😂😂😂
Biz wearing the business jumper
Fucking excellent interview, I know it's been up for a while but just watched and was not disappointed.
what a great dude
We need a second interview! Guy's a beaut!
Hey Biz starting a bottle recycling business?
RA really got ripped a new one 😂
Glenn"bushes and 2 pad stacks"healy
Joe Murphy was player he was talking about and Glenn no joke got him off the streets and helped him get back on his feet Healy is a class act
Ya i met Glenn in a pub with the wife and mother in law.The summer he joined the maple leafs. He was COOL !
This definitely didn't change my opinion of Healy, one is the most arrogant people in sports.
Love when guests rip into RA 😂
I met Biz at a bar here in Victoria BC the Strathcona Hotel great guy got to sit with him had a beer asked some questions.
I’d love to know how many guys have a “substance” abuse problem currently in the nhl
Gretzky wasn’t on that 1994 team and he was obviously confusing 94 with the 1996 year
glenn is like the next dennis hull, and i doubt anyone in the following generations are going to pick that up
Met him when he played college hockey at Western Michigan University during a hockey school that I attended.
Had no idea he played at Western. I'm an incoming freshman there so that's cool to know!
@@cartermacewen3086 you playing hockey at WMU?
I love this podcast but Glenn does not look at all like Robin Williams LMAO
What a beauty
The one thing all TV goalie commentators like to say is: "The goalie had no chance on that one."
Heels is awesome... why would Sportsnet cbc or rogers remove him ?
What was with that comment to RA in the beginning that was out of nowhere
always like his media calls
I used to get annoyed by RA, now i just feel sorry when ppl continue to harp on him
Nah, go back to where you were
59:55 Biz casually stealing Healy's water
when is Bo Horvat coming on?
RA is a beauty .
Healy's a big RA fan eh?
Haha just ripping on him
Matt allan so hard. 😂
@@garygrassler09 hes busting whit up pretty good too I think biz is bringing quiet cuz he dont feel like getting chopped up.fuckin ray whitney 🤣
Matt allan I must of rewinded and watched that ray Whitney comment 10 times 😂😂😂
Healy was a hell of a goalie..
How many kills did that track suit get you biz?
Biz is a tough guy with class. Respect
1:01:14 great toe on biz in those sweats
Glen giving to the only non player
This might be the best spittin chiclets interview of all time
Tim Stapleton interview by a mile and a half
This was so good lol Healy is fuckin hilarious and great!
Oh boy I love listening to this again, RA is in for a good talkin' too haha
My favourite maple leaf backup goalie
Lol, he had a Shandy when he was 8. I had them since 4, and they called it a Mandy for me, because it rhymed....lol. Blue and 7up.
Glen is such a great talker, great show..🤙🇨🇦
Awesome vid

That's my favourite part of Spittin Chiclets, you see the side of a guy you don't really know. Love this podcast and videos....
Hated Healy the goalie, love Glenn the man. True gent and genuine
Ok I finally got some pink Whitney here in Ontario and it’s actually amazing good work boys
yepppp!
I realize that he's half kidding, but saying Turgeon was the only player is ridiculous. Steve Thomas and Ray Ferraro each scored over 400 goals in their careers.
He’s being an asshole to RA cuz he never played in the nhl 😂 relax bro
@Spittin' Chiclets what is "likeness" that Healy is referring to?
The ability for players as individuals to make money off of their likeness. It basicly means they can profit off jersey sales with their name, hockey card sales, league sponsorship appearances, etc.
JV hockey is where it is at
46:55 "You're not playing, so you're not winning..." Ironic coming from the guy who watched the playoffs from the bench...
Man Glen Healy what a guest amazing to funny ... brings the lawyer ... how did you get on this show ... what a joke .... hilarious
You need to get Wendle Clark on
Healy should of played up north , could of had some national championships . Love hearing about guys from abroad playin in mich
Healy never played with Whitney! Heals retired in 2001 ans Whitney was in Boston college…I think Healy is Actually confusing him for real with Ray Whitney🤣
treated RA rather rudely I thought... not funny at all...
I’m with ya, totally unnecessary. Arrogant prick!
Agree! For a guy who was meh in his career he acts like he's the second coming of Ken Dryden and/or Patrick Roy! And interviewing or being interviewed by 101...Know who you're speaking to jackwagon! y Ooooh but you created the in between benches broadcast spot! Big f-ing woop, you blowhard!
Healy has a little man complex lol
that was a good one boys
Rich pilon was a swinger. Ask Eric brewer lol
What I've learned from a lot of these is that Mike Keenan really was a pos to players and staff
Heals is the biggest guy who came out of Bay Ridges.
