WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"[Richter's injury problems] is why Glenn Healy was not only the best backup goalie in the NHL but also the most important. Yet, there is reason to believe that Healy's stay in New York might not last much longer. His contract runs only through the coming season and his salary ($950,000) might be one the Rangers need to dump." (The Sporting News Hockey Yearbook 1996-97, p. 68)

"No one understands the role better - and the team loves him for it." (ESPN Hockey 96, p. 67)

"He has enough experience and ability that a coach can be comfortable using him in most situations. Healy posted a respectable .907 save percentage last year. He has already attained the goal of playing for a Stanley Cup champion. He doesn't get enough game time to stay razor sharp. He tested the free-agent waters over the summer to find out what everybody else already knew - that at this stage in his career, he's strictly backup material." (The Sports Forecaster Hockey '97-'98, p. 130)

"At 34, Healy is one of the better backups in the game, still capable of playing well for fairly long stretches should Potvin falter." (The Hockey News 1997-98 Yearbook, p. 171)

"Started the season with the Chicago Wolves of the IHL when both Joseph and Felix Potvin were in Toronto. Only played in nine games last season because of that and a mid-season knee injury. One of the more likable players in the league, Healy seems to have taken his role and run with it. Knows he won't be the starter as long as Cujo is around, but never complains. Keeps teammates loose with his sense of humor. One of the league's reliable backup goaltenders. Could see more starts this year after it seemed Joseph tired in the playoffs." (The Sports Forecaster 1999-2000, p. 94)

"Playing just 20 games last year, Healy didn't provide enough relief for all-star Curtis Joseph in the net. The grizzled veteran is starting to show his age after 14 seasons in the NHL. He is an acrobatic goaltender who gives up the occasional soft goal. A good team player, he is well-liked in the dressing room." (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 217)

"Released by the Maple Leafs in July, the veteran backup netminder hopes to catch on for what could be his final NHL season. Healy's best work is done behind closed doors. He's a vocal leader and a perfect No. 2 goalkeeper. However, his play of late has left a lot to be desired. Healy can only hope that a team needs experience and leadership - more than skills - from its second-string netminding." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 225)
