Glenn Healy Mocks Kari Lehtonen Ad Nauseam

So I get home after a long day of work and notice that the Leafs are playing the Thrashers on TSN. I enjoy watching the Leafs get beat as much as anybody so I figured I'd tune in and hope for the best. Unfortunately it was already 2-0 for the Leafs at that point but hey, it's Friday and I'm tired so I'll keep watching.

The third period starts and I hear Glenn Healy call Kari Lehtonen "Kari Let-it-in". And I think "Ok, I guess he gave up a stinker." Well, when they finally showed the replays it turns out he has let in 2 stinkers.

One was a giveaway behind the net and the other was a shot from nearly below the goal line. Clearly goals you don't want to give up in a game. And remember, I'm an Avalanche fan so I feel their pain.

During the replays, Healy again referred to Lehtonen as "Let-it-in" where he clearly enunciates each separate word to ensure you know he's making a joke. A lame, juvenile joke.

At the end of the replays though, Healy shows a clip where Ilya Kovalchuk tosses his hands up in frustration at the second softie. He then proceeds to berate Kovalchuk for not giving his goaltender a break because it's not like Kovalchuk has never made a mistake.

Talk about jumping from foot-to-foot to suit your needs, you grandiose ass. Now anyone who watches TSN knows that Healy is a vehement defender of goaltenders in any situation. And if anyone knows about goaltenders making mistakes, it's got to be Healy.

Which makes it all the more baffling that he'll continuously call a goaltender by a childish, demeaning nickname live and on the air. Does TSN not have better standards than this? I thought the "real media" was above cat-calls and juvenile mocking.

Oh, and Toronto just scored twice to make it 4-0. I'm changing channels.
