I'd be willing to buy and then burn an Ott T shirt out of spite.
Will be weird to see a #51 out there again.
I like the switch by Pulkkinen, much better number.
Wonder why Marchy switched, that number wasn't even taken before.
So Lindholm can have his #47 when he comes here!!!

Otter's a great personality.
I too was confused by the Marchy switch.
Yeah he's a cool dude. Fan favorite in Dallas for a long time. But then he got the overpaid/overplayed treatment after he netted 20 goals one time and that was the beginning of the end of his tenure there.
If he stayed a bottom line agitator who played smart defensive hockey, all well and good, but he ended up getting a contract that assumed he'd keep scoring goals. Well, that's not his thing. In two seasons, 2008-2010 he scored 41 goals. Since then, over 6 seasons, he's scored 44 goals. (Fingers crossed we don't say this about Abby and Helm one day)
When he came into the league they joked about his lack of scoring calling him "Red Hot Steve Ott." Sort of like "Hot Hands Helm." I have no idea how much he has left in the tank, but he used to be an ideal bottom line energy player with some sandpaper to his game.
I want to see more of this from him... one of my all-time favorites:

Haha, goodness, thanks for sharing that. Love the comment by Razor, "I would have drank bleach this season if Ott wasn't dressing." I mean, it's true. There were brutal years to watch the Stars. So bad. Stuff like that was a bright spot.
Sorry I know this thread is about numbers, but I have no idea how much I can talk about that... so just going to talk about the new guy.

I kind of want an Ott t-shirt jersey. I hope they make a few. I'm not committed enough to the idea to get a real jersey, but I'm game for the t-shirt.
Also, guys, Ottoberfest is almost upon us. Prepare yourselves.
You won't make me unhate him.
I don't know why but the guy drives me nuts.
