Flyers Mascot Gritty Won’t Stop Throwing Cakes At People

Folks, I am happy to inform you that Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty is up to old tricks. The furry, orange creature has dived deep into the holiday season by criticizing a rather ugly, Gritty-themed tree on his Twitter account, dressing up as Santa Claus for the second-straight year in the name of “Gritmas,” and doing the can-can with the Flyers Ice Girls before the puck dropped against the New York Rangers on Monday. He didn’t stop there, though, as Gritty has grown very fond of the spirit of gift-giving by throwing cakes at people and rival fans to try and spread some holiday cheer at the Farg.
