Gritty burst into our lives and our hearts today.

We’ve been googly-eyed for him ever since.

Gritty and I are both Libras. This makes so much sense. https://t.co/EvZjhgqpj1

A year ago I watched Philadelphians express confusion & ridicule which, over the course of hours, gave way to pride, respect & a profound allegiance. Happy birthday you beautiful creature. @GrittyNHL pic.twitter.com/JZ1FDDHnoB

Just ran into Gritty…

He wants everyone to know it’s HIS day! Rightfully so. Philly hasn’t been the same since he walked into our lives.

UPDATE: A year on, it appears that @GrittyNHL is chill, actually. VICE regrets the error.

There have been two perfect internet days, in my estimation. One was 30-50 feral hogs. The other was the birth of Gritty. Happy birthday https://t.co/AoUuIkgZnk
