Stephen Valiquette stepped in for Henrik Lundqvist tonight, and the Rangers beat the Flyers 5-4 in a shootout, prompting this little musical tribute:
(Sung to the old "Spider-Man" theme)
Valiquette, Valiquette
Backs up Lundqvist, He's the best yet
He stands tall, in the net?
Six-foot six, he's Valiquette!
Look out! Here comes the Valiquette!
Can he play? Listen, bub,
He's got a helmet, stick and glove!
Blocks the net, butterflies
Closed that five-hole with his thighs
Thats right, he's Stevie Valiquette!
Whenever opposing teams threaten
To light up that red light
It's Ole Steve Valiquette we're sending
He'll fight us that good fight!!
Valiquette, Valiquette,
He's the backup backstop vet!
Owns the crease, stops the puck
Does it all with a bit of luck
When you root for the Range-ers
Come on don't be a strange-er
We'll root for Valiquette!
