I agree. Scorch had a lot in common with Gritty. If they brought him back now they could capitalize on all this mascot controversy and attention. I do think the Thunderbug deserves more props for shooting fans with silly string.

Honourable mention to Gnash for his constant trolling of Blackhawks fans on twitter. Gotta appreciate a mascot who strives to keep a rivalry going.
