Again, time and place. Substance is not the point.

Should I PM you before making a post next time to ask if it's appropriate? Gtfooh.

This is about Steve Ott, not McCarthy not Howe...also what are you still doing here you've said you are going to bump ship on the Leafs bandwagon yesterday?

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Nah, there's plenty on HFboards who admit Howe is no Steve Yzerman.

Ok, stop right here. This explains everything now.

I didn't brng up anything about Howe you genius. Some troll brought it up out of left field to flame me. I'm obligated to defend my opinion even though it has nothing to do with Ott

I'm not going to engage in Bill like arguments. Not worth my time to argue with a troll or a 12 year old.

I miss Bill atleast he was funny

Like the signing

Bill was funny at times, though for some reason he had an Axe to grind, particularly against Drew Miller.

Back on topic. I wasn't a huge fan of Ott in the past, but reading some of his comments out there about signing with the Wings, I'm thinking maybe it is going to turn out better than many hope. He seems to at least have the right mindset.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029]

I've had a love/hate relationship with Ott, but I'm looking forward to the physical element that he'll bring to the fourth line. It's too early to tell what his role will be on the team, but I think he's capable of playing regular fourth line minutes. With Miller returning from injury and Pulkkinen out to start the season, it seems like he'll see some playing time. I'm excited about this.

I won't GTFO for being right. McCarty is human trash. He f***ed some high school girls while he was married IIRC. Worthless hockey player as well, just like every other tough guy.

Good read about McCarty here: http://detroitsportsrag.net/hey-darren-mccarty-keep-sergeis-name-out-of-your-filthy-mouth/#more-5642

Never heard anything about this high school girls thing. Where is that information?

[Internet.Unknown 422]

Never heard anything about this high school girls thing. Where is that information?

Who knows if it's true, but the article is sensationalist crap. The alleged women were "high school grads" not "high school girls." Why mention high school at all if not to try to make McCarty look bad? My wife is a high school grad, too ... in her 40's.

18-year-olds can hook up with anyone they want. They're legal adults. Heck, in Michigan the age of consent is 16 (yuck!), I believe.

[kickazz 5,459]

Indeed. Age of consent is 16 in Michigan. So unless they were 15 or younger, technically McCarty hadn't done anything illegal even if all that info is true.

Fun fact, age of consent is 14 in Hawaii.

[e_prime 1,936]

This thread has taken an arguably gross turn.

[kickazz 5,459]

So let's get it back on track. Apparently the NHL.com website already started selling Red Wings Steve Ott jerseys. Except they had his number 9 on it.....

It seems Otter is contiplating wearing either #29 or....are you sitting down? The jinxed #90. We have to flood his twitter time line telling him NOT to choose #90!!!

Don't choose #90 Otter....please!

[krsmith17 7,191]

I'm okay with Ott taking 90, as long as Nielsen doesn't. I'm assuming Nielsen will take Filppula's old 51 though.

[LeftWinger 5,065]

No to #90....bad juju. Nielsen will take #51, I bet.

[krsmith17 7,191]

I'm not too worried about "bad juju" for Steve Ott...
