Gritty Descends from the Wells Fargo Center and My Heart is Full

Russ Joy - October 9, 2018

BAH GAWD, KING! THAT’S GRITTY’S MUSIC!!!

Just when you thought you couldn’t love our city’s foremost treasure, Gritty descended from the rafters of Wells Fargo Center in a way not seen since Sting was dropping down to smack some fools in WCW.

Gritty’s not the hero we deserve, but he’s the hero we need.

    They have no respect for themselves to come out like that. To have the whole gritty miley cyrus intro then get blown out 8-2 in your home opener is not flyers hockey. Penguins Rangers and Capitals fans must be having a laugh. Teams used to fear coming here now it’s a joke and nobody seems to care.
