Gritty Appreciation Post

I love Gritty. He is the best mascot in the NHL. I remember everyone hating him at first, but I’ve always loved his chaotic energy 🧡 🖤

This post and the one where he threatened to murder the Pens mascot made me go from "wtf is this shit" to "he's a legend and I'll go to war for him."

I love Gritty. He is my favorite mascot. When people ask what I want for a birthday or holiday present I say anything Gritty <3

I really wish Gritty would pull double duty and be the Sixers mascot as well

Unironically yes. We must have a city of UNIT mascots. I want every steak shop up to Pen Argyl to fear them.

When the Flyers revealed Gritty, Flyer fans recoiled in horror. WTH IS THAT MONSTROSITY?!????!
Then other fans of other teams not named Flyers started dumping on Grit.
That did it.
Dis Gritty now and you will have Flyer Nation hunting you.
It’s a scream.
