In a surprise, Blues name Steve Ott assistant coach
Pretty wild last few days for St. Louis on the coaching front.
After gutting Mike Yeo’s staff of four assistants, then hiring hiring Darryl Sydor, the Blues went totally off the grid on Friday by announcing longtime NHLer Steve Ott would become Yeo’s new assistant.
“Steve was a competitor on the ice as a player and I expect him to bring that energy in this role,” Yeo said in a release. “He was highly respected as a player and a person among his teammates and I believe he will be a huge asset to our staff.”
I remember some commentators would talk about how well he played Iginla. He played him the absolute worst way possible, by pissing him off. I always couldn't wait to see Ott poke the bear.

He was a Hab for a very short time and I liked him immediately. Why? The very first practice, he's on the ice helping Galchenyuk with his faceoffs. First day and he's already helping one of his new teammates. I think he'll do well as an assistant coach.
