New York chanteuse Melinda Battler sings the Finnish ballad
Ihailen mies, joka ajaa Zamboni ('I admire a man who drives
a Zamboni') prior
to the Rangers-Canadiens match. The lyrics,
roughly translated,run as follows:
See him there, astride his great
Ice-shaving vehicle!
He makes clear the way
for the men who run on knives.
I admire him, I admire him,
I would like to be him,
I would like to be like him,
the ice-shaving man
I would like to be like him
I would like to shine
Like he shines
Oh I would like to shine
Like he shines.
