What an honor for Mike McKenna.
Not only did he get to meet Gritty Wednesday night, but he also got the Flyers' mascot to sign his mask, which sports a drawing of the fuzz ball (see story).

Looks like Gritty didn't love McKenna questioning his pregame meal - it's obviously 10 plates of pasta β¦ the guy needs fuel.
McKenna is the Flyers' seventh goalie of the season, while the Flyers are the seventh team of McKenna's career.
Now he'll have a special signature to always remember it.
