Golden Knights’ Chance throws shade at new Flyers’ mascot Gritty

Golden Knights’ mascot Chance sent a check new Philadelphia Flyers’ mascot Gritty’s way Tuesday on Twitter.

Gritty, an orange bearded creature with big eyes and a knack for imitating Kim Kardashian, has received plenty of criticism on Twitter since his unveiling Monday. Chance piled on by asking if he should send a thank you card to Philadelphia because the NHL’s newest mascot makes the gila monster look better by comparison.

Here’s hoping Gritty comes to Las Vegas for the Knights’ season opener against the Flyers at T-Mobile Arena on Oct. 4. Some sort of competition between he and Chance is what the world needs.
