That is certainly A Choice. According to the Sharks, Couture made the team “promise to keep it secret until he scored.”

After the game, a giggling Couture explained why he went with the 80’s pop hit by Cyndi Lauper, crediting his girlfriend.
“I mean, we were kind of fooling around and trying to pick a song and that was the first song she said so we stuck with her,” Couture said.

As a Canadian, Couture knows that sometimes the strangest picks end up being the best picks.
