Youppi! Le Comeback Kid (You Tube/habsinsideout.com)

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to hockey and baseball. So, by extension I'm not one for team mascots.

But, you gotta love Youpi - one time mascot for the Montreal Expos who migrated over to the hockey Canadiens when Bud Selig and friends pulled the Expos out of town.

Many thanks to Dave Stubbs from the Montreal Gazette (habsinsideout) for having pointed out this video. Much welcome & needed today (the first day of summer after Canadiens were eliminated from the playoffs).

As always, kudos to Dave, Mike Boone and the others at habsinsideout for a great job. To a Montreal fan stranded in New Jersey, it is a wonderful lifeline.
