I always thought trolls were part of the Greek mythos… labyrinths, minotaurs, trolls, Hercules etc.

Edit: or is Welsh a thing for that? Maybe I should just Google it lol.

Edit: Yep, trolls are a Norse thing. Not even close to being Greek. I was closer with Welsh… although it’s not Welsh, it’s Celt… and Celt is not Dane, so I still wasn’t even right with that. It’s pretty cool how many opportunities there are to learn things every day!

Seattle also has the Fremont Troll under one of their bridges which was installed to keep the homeless from sleeping there. Think it's a nod to that maybe?

It's certainly something that was overdesigned by a marketing department.

With Harvey, it was just some guy with a dog costume who knocked on the Flames door.

100% correct. Great mascot as the Fremont Troll lives less than 5 miles from the arena.

It feels like they wanted to outdo Meth Cat for scaring youngsters.

Was that the sounds of Sir Mix-a-Lot accompanying that troll being lowered to the ice?

Pretty sure it wasn't. I for one welcome another new Gritty-esque mascot.

That, sir, is Danny Devito in his finest role he's ever played. He's also known as Dr. Mantis Toboggan and his monster dong.
