Canadiens Make Good On Bet, Tweet Pics Of Sad Mascot In Rangers Jersey

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- In the end, the Canadiens weren't as good as the New York Rangers, who advanced past Montreal last week and will play the Los Angeles Kings for the Stanley Cup.

But the Habs proved to be good sports, following through on a well-publicized wager with Jimmy Fallon of the "Tonight Show."

On Sunday, the Canadiens tweeted 10 photos of their mascot, Youppi, touring Montreal while looking oh so sad in a Rangers jersey:

The team also changed its Twitter avatar to something of Fallon's choosing: an image of Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist playing guitar.
