I Was Never Brandon Manning

[boxcar65]

Hello everyone. It’s nice to drop back in after five years or so. The old timers will remember me posting off and on from roughly 2015-2018 mainly regarding the unfairly maligned Brandon Manning. He was not the best player, but he was a true team guy who still has one of the best open ice hits ever against hated Tom Wilson in the 2016 playoffs.

I believe Mandog is retired and living in the Great White North somewhere. Let’s raise a glass to #23…a true Flyer.

And no, I was never Brandon Manning. I’m just Alan from Virginia.

The only good thread ever made. Hope you’re doing well, Boxcar.

The fact you disappeared when he did doesn't help your argument.

Nice to hear from you, Alan from Virginia. I hope you are doing well. I raise my coffee mug to Brandon Manning, the man, the meh-gend.

In January 2020, Brandon Manning was suspended from the AHL for spouting racial slurs on the ice.

f*** this guy forever. He was never a "true flyer", unless you like guys like the Staal borthers and Provorovs and DeAngelos of the world, who are known bigots and homophobes and pieces of absolute shit.

Hak would still prefer him now over Sanheim.

We never thought you were manning. We thought you were one of that assholes' parents

Brandon Manning is a POS.

 

[ugiswrong]

Yes but did you also happen to be the person who worshipped that danish defensemen lauridsen?

Didnt take long to fix that.

You sure you're not talking about Wolfy/OKT?

I appreciate that. Why do you say he’s a POS? He was always a good teammate.

Probably has something to do with this:

AHL suspends Brandon Manning 5 games for using racial slur

The incident happened Monday night in a game against the Ontario Reign.

This thread has the potential to be something interesting

Manning was a terrible player and a shithead of a person, but your posts about him never failed to amuse me. Glad you're doing well.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This sounds like something Brandon Manning would say.

Oh I will never think about Brandon Manning the person ever again. But Boxcar was always nice to everyone and the genuine commitment to the bit made it one of my favorite running gags around here. It could have easily gotten tiring, but it never did. It’s shitposting royalty.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Classic Brandon Manning behavior, if you ask me.

 

[ajgoal]

Glad to see you are doing well, @boxcar65!

"I'm just Alan from Virginia" is exactly what Brandon Manning would say.

 

[Jack Straw]

Has anyone here ever seen boxcar65 and Brandon Manning in the same room at the same time? Didn’t think so.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

f*** sake, Alan.

My week will be complete if hatcher makes his triumphant return as well.

If Alan from Virginia doesn't dip Copenhagen straight I've lost all hope.

If there was a Hfboards hall of fame for shitposting, boxcar is easily top 3 all time. He blows OKT out of the water.
