Well, Gritty did not disappoint.
The guy actually came down from the roof of the Linc, lit up like a Christmas tree, as you can see in the video above.
What an entrance!

You ever had that dream where you're dressed as @GrittyNHL and you zipline off the roof into #StadiumSeries? pic.twitter.com/AgAKUt6vwF— NHL (@NHL) February 24, 2019

Oh, and Gritty was not done. He got loose during a break in the second period.

This is the ideal Grit body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. #StadiumSeries pic.twitter.com/Lkn4JEQvvI— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) February 24, 2019

This is Gritty's first outdoor game. He'll have many more, but this one will be especially memorable for the orange fella.
There's been plenty of other Gritty fun, too.
