The answer is yes, and they also make a mess.
The Canadiens hosted the third edition of Youppi!'s Mascot Party during Saturday's game against New Jersey, featuring larger-than-life invitees from across North America.
This year's guestlist saw Youppi! and long-lost brother METAL! joined by their NHL counterparts in Washington's Slapshot, Winnipeg's Mick E. Moose, and the visitors' own NJ Devil - not to mention an interleague invitee from the NBA's Chicago Bulls, Benny the Bull. The latter became the latest non-NHL mascot to pop by the Bell Centre for Youppi!'s gathering, following Mr. Met in 2018-19 and Pat Patriot in 2019-20.
Of course, the crew knew how to make an entrance; some more awkward than others.

Pregame preparations looked a little different on a night when the Canadiens dressing room was home to a member of the opposing squad(!), a popcorn malfunction (more on that later), naked Youppi! (not again), and other strange sights.

The whole gang of course doesn't speak, but they still managed to turn the volume up to 11 from the DJ booth during warmups.
Youppi! and METAL! meanwhile learned how to get a party poppin' - although how exactly to clean up is still TBD.
And a starstruck Benny fanbulled over "Jordan" - shame "Michael" Pezzetta wasn't available for the photo op.
It's no surprise that a moose, a bird, and a bull would be absolute party animals.
