McKenna ran into Gritty before Wednesday night's game and asked him for an autograph.

And the goaltender grilled Gritty with some hard-hitting questions.

"You have a pretty good pregame nap? Meal was OK? What'd you go with? Just the normal 10 plates of pasta?" McKenna asked.



Gritty just stared.
