The best reactions to the Flyers’ new mascot Gritty

It’s been a stressful week, but at least it’s–oh. Monday.

Thankfully, the Flyers revealed their new mascot Gritty, and he/she/it is both giving us life and keeping us awake at night. It will haunt our dreams when sleep finally overtakes us. If we survive the nightmares of its gloriously gyrating belly, it will make us breakfast in the morning and stare at us with its googly eyes while we eat.

Here are some of the best reactions to Gritty thus far.

Flummoxed by Philly: Flyers beat Caps 6-3

Another Metro showdown, but a different result tonight. The Caps and potential first round playoff opponent, the Philadelphia Flyers matched up in a game that could have extended Washington’s win streak to five games. Instead, the Caps fell in a sloppy effort that goaltender Philipp Grubauer could not salvage despite his best efforts.

Nada in the first. Shayne Gostisbehere led things off in the second before Alex Ovechkin’s 43rd of the season tied things up. Oskar Lindblom’s first NHL goal put the Flyers up one and they would add another on a deflection moments later.

Wayne Simmonds scored early in the third to extend the lead even further. Chandler Stephenson finished off a two-on-one. Simmonds added one more. John Carlson put home a strange backhand. Jakub Voracek empty netter.

Flyers beat Caps 6-3.

Caps at Flyers pregame: Another division duel

On this lovely Sunday afternoon, the Capitals have trekked up to Philadelphia to play the Flyers in another Metropolitan division brawl. The Flyers have only won three of their last ten games, while the Capitals continue to impress on their four game winning streak. It might be a bit harder for the Capitals to close tonight, being on the road and without Evgeny Kuznetsov, but based on the Flyers recent performance, I remain optimistic.

Look, I’m not usually the first person to have high hopes about anything hockey related, but the fact is that the Capitals are currently on a solid winning streak. This winning streak nonsense is occurring…at exactly the correct time. I’m constantly a ball of both nerves and excitement.

Puck drop will be a tad after 5 PM on NBCSWA, just so you can get to sleep at a proper time. Our favorite boy from the comments, Mr. Christopher, will have your recap.
