Gritty spent the Philadelphia Flyers last game of the season making wishes come true.
The mascot fulfilled the requests of many of his starving Gritizens during the Flyers' final home game against the New Jersey Devils on Monday. Gritty chronicled his year, where he's truly lived his best life, on Twitter on Thursday. Yet he realized he had done all those things without considering the interests of his fans, which is where the fan-appreciation day promotion was born.
Now’s your chance, Gritizens. I want to make YOUR dreams come true. What would you like to see me do? *EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe I’ll do it, maybe I won’t.
Then inside the arena he said hi to Pennsylvania lieutenant governor John Fetterman's dog, watched "Rocky 2" while bathing in soft pretzels and eating Swedish Fish, showed his love for the NWHL, did four cartwheels in a row and did an interpretive dance to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen holding a gelatin mold.
