Good/bad NHL Mascots??

I think most of the NHL mascots look strange or just plain ridiculous.

Good:

Harvey the Hound (Flames), Sabretooth

Not so Good:

Howler the Yeti (former Avs mascot, who I think was canned for some reason), Fin (Canucks)

I was looking on Youtube for the clip of MacT pulling out Harvey's tounge, It was pretty funny - but I cant find it.

They still use Wild Wing.

My favorite announcers are Wild Wing (homer pick) and Youppi!

Speaking of Harvey, what does a dog have to do with the flames that torched Atlanta during American Civil War?

Youppi: any mascot that can break down sportism barriers has to be good


Bad:
Whatever the heck the hurricanes have...a pig????
Carlton the Bear... he wasn't from Boston....hell, he wasn't even from Bel air...he was from Toronto dam it.
The Edmonton oilers seal....oh wait never mind, that is just Roloson flopping around on the ice and barking to the refs.

Harvey the Hound has the honor of being the first mascot in the NHL, after his debut, the other teams inquired about getting their own mascots.

The Panthers win though, there's absolutely no competing with that.

NJ Devil used to be decent in his first few years when he did stuff like taking a Ranger fan's jersey and throwing it under the zamboni as it passed or dumping popcorn on visiting fans. His older videos were a lot better too, like when he ran down the turnpike to Philly and ran up the stairs and posed next to the Rocky statue, or my personal favorite, blowing up MSG. Those were the days....Now everything is cornball. I think I know what MC Hammer is doing. He's wearing that costume. Awful. The kids like him though, which can't be said for a lot of mascots.

I always loved the video of Sharkie biting Don Cherry's head.

Carlton's apparently a very honest bear.

And I don't think Dallas has a mascot.

Just cheerleaders.

I'm glad they still use Wild Wing... One of the few truly badass looking Mascots.

Add Bailey too the good list too. Pretty sweet mascot.

Does your mascot fight Van Damme in a major motion picture?
