I have to admit, when the Flyers first introduced Gritty, their new mascot, to the world yesterday afternoon I was not a fan. I think it was mostly the lack of a nose and a natural aversion to mascots.
But by the end of the day I did a 180. Gritty made his on-ice debut last night and it was a resounding success.
He slipped and fell numerous times.
He used the T-shirt cannon as a weapon.
He imitated Kim Kardashian.
What’s not to love?
It’s even better when you see Cam Heyward’s reaction.
