Yippie! Youppi! has found a new home

One of my precious memories of taking in the Blue Jays-Expos game at Olympic Stadium in Montreal in 2001 was that the rightfield bleachers were so sparsely populated that the orange mascot of Les Expos had to move two groups together so that there would be enough people in a row to hold up the letters in GO JOSE for second baseman Jose Vidro. (Of course they just spelled other things like GOOSE.) However, when Major League Baseball moved the Expos to Washington, DC, there was no use for this orange mascot named Youppi!. (I believe that name ends in an exclaimation point, not a postalveolar click.) But today comes word from Montreal that Les Canadiens have taken in Youppi!.
