Backstory: The entire Sabres roster is in Europe and their preseason team in NA is essentially Rochester in Sabres jerseys. Sabretooth is also overseas, so they called up Moose!

Mick E. Moose got the call he had long waited for on October 7, 2011 when he was called up to the NHL to represent the newly moved Winnipeg Jets as the official team mascot.

Silver medal! (clap-clap-clap-clap-clap)

They played three games in the US after the top 27 players were in Europe. What’s funny is that they managed to win 2 out of the 3 despite having an exemption on starting a minimum number of veteran players. It was prospects and Amerks and that’s what they had. They were even leading in the game they lost until Sandstrom came in and did what Sandstrom does and got lit up in the third period. It was a gutty preseason effort for a lineup with a combined…like…88 NHL games played or something. Was a weird preseason though. Still..I wouldn’t want to be a team that lost to what amounted to an AHL team without their best goal scorer, top two or three vets and goalie (all are in Europe). Made the games funny at least

The schedule is hard. Everyone plays at 7,teams play on two different continents

Even two teams playing the same team but in different cities - Detroit hosting the Penguins and on the road in Buffalo on Monday.

Why do teams even have a pre-season anymore? They tend to sit their best players who are all going to be in the lineup when the regular season starts.

Hope he brought his best routines.

This moose looks like the upgrade the Sabres need to make the playoffs.

Time for a new mascot. I nominate this guy.

The purely technical answer is that it’s written into the CBA, so it’s not going anywhere unless it comes up in 2026 negotiations.

Because New Jersey proved earlier this week that you can do this and people will still buy tickets.

Not that it really matters, but couldn't they have two identical costumes and just have the same mascot at both places?

Several years ago, Gnash injured his leg, so Roscoe was called up from Milwaukee to Nashville to be the team mascot. Roscoe is an orange, furry ship's dog that can skate.

I believe that Aaron Simms, the Milwaukee radio pxp man, was also called up for a game during the same season. It is a good thing that Nashville is only a 90 minute flight from Milwaukee.
