Poor Youppi! Habs mascot follows through on bet with Jimmy Fallon
There are few things more depressing than a sad mascot.
Youppi!, the mascot for the Montreal Canadiens, was on the wrong end of a bet with Jimmy Fallon over the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The furry hockey figurehead had wagered with the late-night host that if the Canadiens won the Eastern Conference finals against the Rangers, Fallon would have to do his monologue in a Canadiens jersey. If the Rangers won, Youppi! had to go around Montreal in a Rangers jersey.
And as Youppi! showed firsthand, the Rangers were victorious.
Congrats @jimmyfallon, well played. Youppi! is a mascot of his word – 10 pics coming on Sunday. #HabsFallonBet

Although we're sure a few tears were shed, at least Youppi! held up his end of the deal.
We have a sad Youppi! this morning, @jimmyfallon, but his jersey is here and he'll wear it on Sunday. #HabsFallonBet pic.twitter.com/yBJkwgjtDQ

Take a look at some of the pictures from Youppi!'s not-so-happy day wearing a Rangers Fallon jersey in Montreal. More pictures can be found on the Canadiens' Twitter feed.
