Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers' not-so-lovable new mascot made his debut Monday.
Gritty is a fuzzy, orange, seven-foot-tall muppet-gone-wrong whose father was a "bully," according to Philadelphia's official mascot's page. He emerged from the depths of the Wells Fargo Center due to the arena's recent construction, and now he's here to eat snow "straight from the Zamboni machine" and, apparently, scare away anyone who was once interested in attending a Flyers game.
