Now, I fully admit I’m sick of the usual tunes. “Simply the Best” by Tina Turner has lost it’s impact, and how many of us would die happy if we never heard Cool and the Gang’s “Celebration” again? But what did the Canadiens decide to play to celebrate the legend? Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know?”

That’s right folks. That upbeat love song from the 80′s was the (mostly likely carefully) chosen ode to Patrick Roy.

And what says “Thank you, Patrick” more than Whitney? Take these fine lyrics from the song:

“When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love” or “How will I know (don’t trust your feelings).”

Now, granted English is not the native language for most members of the Francophone organization, but you would think someone there would have a good enough grasp of the English language to look over the lyrics and say “Hmm…this doesn’t quite fit for a jersey retirement ceremony.” But alas, we were stuck listening to Whitney cry out “How will I know if he’s thinking of me, I try to phone but Im too shy (can’t speak)” trying as hard as we might to find some kind of significance to Patty.

If anyone can figure out this mystery, please tell tell this goddess. Otherwise, “How will I know?”
