Today we say goodbye to Brandon Manning. Mandog is a veteran player, whose flyers tenure spanned over 6 seasons and more than 200 games.
Thanks for the memories.

Addition by subtraction.

The thought of Manning never playing for the Flyers again has me like...

Can't wait until the jersey retirement ceremony and Flyers HOF induction.

Maybe he'll come back as an assistant in 10 years or so.

Is this for real?!?!

 

[Curufinwe]

He played at least 100 games too many for this team.

 

[FlyersMania2]

I appreciate him not coming back

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....not ManDog

 

[FlyTimmo]

Good luck Manning. I'm sure he will get a contract somewhere.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Honestly, I never liked him but it's not his fault the coach used him above his abilities. He'll likely spend a few more seasons in the NHL as a #6/7 before he heads over to Europe.

Good luck and I hope we never see you in the O&B again.

 

[Prongo]

Bye

Who will be box car's favorite player now?

 

[FlyTimmo]

Feels wrong that someone other than @boxcar65 started this thread.

 

[Rebels57]

I'm guessing he goes the VandeVelde route. Signs a ATO somewhere next fall and doesn't make the team and is out of the NHL.

Most NHL teams like their veteran players to actually be good at hockey. If they're not, they shouldnt take a spot away from a kid that is NHL ready. Pretty simple.

Two players used as full-time regulars unable to find another NHL job after they leave Haktard Island.

good luck mandog. Played hard for us. not his fault the coach overused him.

Should have said "not his fault the coach USED him"

 

[Harhis]

He played at least 100 games too many for this team.

207 to be exact.

As Misha Vorobyev taught me: don't hate the player, hate the game.

But now I'm just picturing boxy (we're here for support) and Mandog reenacting the ending to Shane:



"Brandon, come baaaaaaaaaack!"

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Towards the end of his tenure he wasn't the turd everyone made him out to be. He turned into a legit NHL 6/7 defenseman. I'm glad he's gone because it likely means we'll get some Morin next year but if we weren't stuck with AMac's contract I would have wanted him as our 7th.

 

[Amorgus]

It's like being told you no longer have a kidney stone...but you still have stage four lymphoma.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I appreciate that Edmonton fans were absolutely fixated/obsessed with him.


I also appreciate that he has been removed from Hakstol.
