To be fair, you have made several emotional-sounding posts today. They kind of come across as freaking out over a minor setback in the face of several big wins this offseason, for the Blues. Your opinion of Ott is pretty clear, but you seem to enjoy repeating it over and over.
Seems like Ott is lined up to be the new whipping boy for the fanbase. I expect the Asylum to lambast him religiously. As for me, I'm curious how he looks after a full training camp and a chance to familiarize himself with linemates. Its like he had no career before his post-trade slump with the Blues. Ott is capable of filling a useful role with this team, and I fully expect that to happen.
Emotional? I strongly dislike Ott as a hockey player an I don't want him on my team. Especially as he clearly didn't fit and played very poorly for us. That is as far as the emotions go. I have also made several stat-based arguments about why he is bad that nobody has addressed. I have made a few jokes about him, and I'll admit my sense of humor can be sarcastic and caustic. However, I have also made some points with merit that have gone unchallenged. Instead of addressing the points that have merit, I have been called names and deemed "emotional" or told I have an agenda because I disagree with someone. Please.
As clearly as I have stated my opinion of Ott, you have made yours just as clear and you too have said it over and over as well. Does that make you a "spazz" or emotional? Not at all. I respect you and your right to an opinion. BlueDream and I have also clashed several times about Ott in the past. I respect him as a poster as well. I can have an argument and separate the person from the argument. The vast majority of Blues fans and posters on this board agree with me about Ott. Even if they didn't, I am free to post my opinion about a hockey player on our team as much as I want. On the other hand, attacking a poster and calling them names, I believe, is against the rules of the forum.
If Ott looks good after training camp and is a valuable member of the team, I will be happy to eat the biggest plate of crow you can find and serve up. But based on the data we have, which includes his play prior to the Blues, I really don't like the signing.
