Gritty-Gate 2020

By -
Philadelphia Inquirer -Chris Greenwell took his boy Brandon to the Wells Fargo Center one night in November to meet the most famous person on the Philadelphia Flyers payroll: Gritty.
The Flyers had invited Greenwell and his 13-year-old son to get a photo and some face time with the fuzzy, googly-eyed mascot, all part of an exclusive event for season ticket-holders. But after waiting in line for about an hour behind dozens of fans to get to Gritty, something shocking happened, according to Greenwell
Gritty punched Brandon in the back, Greenwell claims.


Look, I don't know if you hit the kid or not Gritty.  I'm sure you tapped the young fellow a little harder than you should of.

Launching an investigation against a mascot is bonkers, especially in Philly of all cities.

I'm surprised we aren't reading about Gritty beating up a young Penguins fan, or inappropriately touching someone, I mean look at those eyes.






Hate to see it happen to such a classy city.

And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to use A

I'm not going to get sucked into the whole Friday morning 6 points out of a playoff spot, game against the Leafs on a back to back storyline today. No way. I stand by my eulogy of the 19/20 season.

Carey Price has a .924 save percentage since Dec. 1. Since Jan. 1 it’s .937. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Okay okay, but if we can't score does it really matter anyway?
