Glenn Healy said Canadiens traded Cameron Diaz for Dale Weise

Glenn Healy of Sportsnet has earned one or two detractors over the years for his hockey commentary, which can sometimes reside at the corner of Crazy Lane and Cuckoo Street.

They’re probably still laughing over Healy’s gaffe Sunday night in discussing Montreal Canadiens Game 3 hero Dale Weise, in which he envisioned a scenario where the Habs acquired him for Kimmy from “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Said Healy:

“ANOTHER GREAT TRADE BY [Montreal GM Marc] BERGEVIN. HE TRADED HIM FOR CAMERON DIAZ, DEFENSEMAN, TO VANCOUVER.”

Forgetting the odd syntax of the statement itself – Bergevin traded Weise? – Healy was obviously going for defenseman Raphael Diaz, who as far as we can tell never used any of Ben Stiller’s hair gel.

They’re easily confused, of course: Raphael Diaz is Swiss, and Cameron Diaz once dressed like this. But other than that, they're literally Knight and Day. Confusing them on Any Given Sunday leads to Very Bad Things.

Unrelated: Healy also said that we can expect the Calder Trophy to go to Ottawa rookie Sharon Stone.
