No other mascot so accurately depicts the fanbase which it is meant to represent: I suppose this newest abomination may balance that out... I think I have been permanently blinded ...

mojo1917 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 twitter has been pretty funny about this. #Gritty is a treasure trove of snark. I'm going to add, I had not seen the googly eyes, they are definitely the feature that keeps this Gritty from being a complete abomination.

Samifan Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Any truth to the rumor that Sh***y will be played ( on a rotating basis) by Dale Weise and Jori Lethera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 That's so bad I can't even make fun of it. If there is a petition somewhere to oust Gritty I'll sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intheslot Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Little known fact: The original inspiration for Gritty was not a Muppet, Scott Hartnell or Jake Voracek. Nope. It was @CarrlynBathe's dad, Frank Bathe. The resemblance is uncanny, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Another fun fact: As part of the trade for Mark Recchi, the Flyers received John LeClair, Eric Desjardins, Gilbert Dionne, and the first-born son of Youppi. While the trade was considered a steal for the last few decades, Gritty has now reached his 23rd birthday and has dedicated his life to exacting revenge upon the franchise that tore him from his idyllic childhood.

ruxpin Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 10 minutes ago, pilldoc said: the first-born bastard son of Youppi, who crashed his porsche into a thrashing machine. Left for dead after being mutilated by the thrashing machine and crapped on by a bunch of rabid cows, a pack of Boy Scouts came upon him. Because they had all achieved their defibrillation merit badges, they began to attempt to revive him, not noticing that he was lying in a pool of water. The bolts raged through him, sizzling through his hardening arteries, shriveling his barely beating heart, and causing his hair to look like that of Bob Ross during his own childbirth. From the depths of the cow pasture, angry at the world but completely unable to skate and keep his balance comes a bird? a Hartnell? hell no.....it's GRITTY. Fixed it?
