This Little Goalie Might Want To Lay Low For A While After Attacking Gritty On The Ice
Don’t get me wrong–I love the move. It’s about damn time that somebody finally tried to put Gritty in his place. This maniac has been running around with reckless abandon for the last 6-7 months. And for some reason, everybody has just been letting him get away with this shit. Maybe Gritty is like that crazy person you see on the subway that you’d rather just pretend to avoid entirely because the last thing you want to do is draw the attention of a psychopath onto yourself. Everybody has just been letting Gritty do whatever the hell he wants this whole time with almost zero repercussions. So this little goalie decided to take the task upon himself end him once and for all.
The only issue? Well the mission failed.
If you are going to attempt to take Gritty out, well then you better take him out. You can’t go full Marty McSorley on Gritty like that and let him live to get his revenge. This poor kid is going to have to live out the rest of his life know just constantly looking over his shoulder for this nightmare to appear.
I appreciate the effort. I support the sentiment. But you just have to finish the job there or else Gritty will haunt you for the rest of your life.
P.S. – Flyers won in a shootout last night thanks to John Tavares apparently getting an early start on gassing some post-game beers.
5 games left. 8 points out of the 2nd wild card spot in the East. The Flyers season still remains alive unless Montreal wins their next game and the Flyers lose theirs in regulation. If I know this team like I think I do, there’s a strong chance this godforsaken season still manages to come down to the final weekend.
