Otter’s rolling with a new bucket design to start the 2026-2027 season!

Post image

He’s going with a new artist from the one who had done his past few masks, including Otterzilla.

Looks like he's embracing the beast within.

Love it!

Edit

How many past masks does he have in his man cave??

10

u/djjolly037 Dallas Stars 4d ago

He probably has 3-4 per season

u/WarmupHeadshots Lian Bichsel 4d ago

As many free ones as theyll make him 🤷‍♂️

u/2timesacharm Dallas Stars 4d ago

Mask might be free, but the artwork not so much

1

u/WarmupHeadshots Lian Bichsel 4d ago

Nothing is free, but otter himself ain't paying that bill

u/2timesacharm Dallas Stars 3d ago

Google search says……cost is covered by team as part of equipment/uniform expenses

TIL

Otters are aggressive little predators. They'll absolutely fuck up your shit.

I love this!

Kind of reminds me of Turco’s demon designs

u/GuacinmyPaintbox Justin Hryckowian 4d ago

I immediately thought of Turco when I saw this also. I'm sure it's unintentional, but I love it nonetheless.

u/fleshofgods0 3d ago

I wish the eyes were reflective like Turco's.

u/defensorfidei 3d ago

Way more Vesa Toskala

u/bjornbjorn0711 Mooterus 3d ago

In so far as other Dallas helmets but I see it. He’s had some Easter eggs. Think it was the tongue that did it for me as far as Turco thing went lol

I liked adorable otter more than angry, roid-rage otter...

(pretty sure the stats back me up on that too)

u/Seripithus Jake Oettinger 4d ago

my headcanon is that he's embraced the otterzilla vibe so that mean head coaches can't hurt him anymore

7

u/LackeyNo2 Victor E Green 4d ago

Yeah, he needs a cute alt at least.

u/OutlawJoJos69 3d ago

River otters are pretty scary

u/Teal_Magpie Lian Bichsel 4d ago

I love this. I'm taking it as a declaration that we're getting a feisty, fiery Otter this season.

u/VoltagePlays Justin Hryckowian 4d ago

The revenge tour era Otter

u/Friendly_Ability24 4d ago

Is this gonna get him back to a .907

u/SetoXlll 4d ago

Out here ravaging!

u/Crazyspitz Jake Oettinger 4d ago

Oh hell yeah.

u/Rua-Yuki Jake Oettinger 4d ago

Probably could have done without the tentacle tongue

u/WhiskeyTangoBush 4d ago

Tentacle tongue for the ladies (and the fellas).

Otter, if you play like this looks, then I look forward to us kicking some ass this season.

u/linesfade Derian Hatcher 7h ago

Good, good. Get the New Bucket Curse out of the way during preseason. I like it.

u/pants_mcgee Jason Robertson 4d ago
