It's not Hartnell, he's upright on his skates Flyers are taking a beating on this today. Not just the hideous being, but the name, too. Already the local populace has replaced the "Gr" with a "SH". This organization has been really good for many years in decisions like this, I can't understand how in the world this happened. I think someone in the Penguins organization has been putting LSD in the Flyers' HVAC system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted October 5, 2018 Share #41 Posted October 5, 2018 Article in USA Today regarding the birth of Gritty Quote "There's always negative kickback at first and these days, it's just more of a negative-based environment," Raymond says. The Flyers embraced it all, he said. "They went up there with no armor on and just said, 'Shoot me.' And then they deflected the negativity with humor. It was perfect." The team didn't have to wait two months for sentiment to turn in their favor. Once the national media and comedians pounced, Philadelphia and Flyers fans rallied around Gritty as one of theirs. The municipal embrace fits the city's' manta as coined by Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce during his Super Bowl parade speech: "No one likes us. We don’t care."
