The Expos may have departed to Washington, but the most beloved member of the team remained: the mascot, Youppi.
Now, it seems Youppi has found a new home with the Habs:
As reported by colleague Stephanie Myles this year, the Canadiens have bought the rights to Youppi!, the moth-eaten bastard Muppet who became a symbol of everything that was wrong with the Expos. Youppi! will be introduced as the Canadiens’ new mascot at a news conference this afternoon.
Does this mean Youppi will have to learn to skate?
I always hated Youppi.
He looks like the illegitimate offspring of Barney and Big Bird.
lol.
Sorry,
I couldn’t care less about professional hockey anymore.
