pilldoc Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Love him or hate, Gritty certainly is not your ordinary mascot. This is too funny ....... PK Subban is engaged to Lindsey Vonn form Olympic skier. https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/flyers-gritty-trolls-devils-p-k-subban-with-lindsey-vonn-sign/ Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty is one of the most bizarre mascots that the sports world has ever seen. Now the creature that emerged from his secret hiding place under Wells Fargo Arena is taking trolling to a whole new level. Prior to Wednesday's game between the Flyers and New Jersey Devils, Gritty stood behind the glass near Devils defenseman P.K. Subban and held a sign that said "Lindsey could do better." Take a look: Sup, @lindseyvonn? pic.twitter.com/2K8CWYYGJ2 — Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) October 9, 2019 Of course, the sign is referring to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, who is engaged to Subban. Despite the betrothal between the two sports stars, Gritty is shooting his shot with the three-time Winter Olympic medalist. Subban appeared to be focused on the game because he didn't pay any attention to Gritty's sign. The Devils star had an evening to forget as the Flyers came away with a 4-0 win (box score). Flyers goalie Carter Hart registered his first career shutout and recorded 25 saves. The Flyers received goals from Sean Couturier, Kevin Hayes, Travis Konecny, and Ivan Provorov. The team also honored former Flyer Wayne Simmonds with a tribute video during the game. Simmonds spent eight seasons of his NHL career with the Flyers before being traded to the Nashville Predators at the trade deadline and ultimately signing with the Devils in the offseason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I think the entire social media team for the Flyers has been very good since the beginning of last year. They are funny, talk just the right amount of smack. Gritty is great, he's pretty weird looking but he's funny and whomever is doing his accounts is hitting the right notes. I saw this too and laughed pretty heartily 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineFlyFan Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yeah, put me in the "Gritty won me over" club....at first I was appalled and embarrassed.....but then he started serving people hotdogs in the bowl from the balcony with a fishing pole and I said...."Alright, they might have something here"... Good stuff....and the boy LOVES him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
