[McFlash97]

Manning......
..
Lol hahahahahahaha

The numbers on this guy are horrifying.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Garbage.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

I don't like his face.

 

[talitintti]

Hope Gaudreau has a stiff collarbone.

Good thinking. If we pummel those little wimps like Pettersson and Gaudreau we have a better shot at winning the division!!!

 

[BlackDogg]

At least a piece of crap would step down every so often when it gets caught on your boot.

What a ****ing beast.

Thoughts on our new player?

Wow incoming 20 goal season.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Like with everything else surrounding the Oilers...

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[LTIR]

So do we boo the guy??
I think Oil fans should

 

[Wretched Oil]

I think this is a stupid idea.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

I'm all for forgiving a player and giving him a shot if he's got something he can offer when he's on ala kassian.

Manning just doesn't make sense to me.

na, dont boo him for Chia's stupidity.

 

[LTIR]

na, dont boo him for Chia's stupidity.

It's not for Chia'' stupidity... It's for his comments after he injured McDavid.

f*** this guy... This is like Avs GM trading for Todd Bertuzzi

 

[oobga]

I honestly don't blame the kid for chirping McDavid. Trying to throw McDavid off his game and get the win (Philly did end up winning that game).

That's gamesmanship. Rats usually find a way to win teammates over. Matt Cooke always seemed to be comfy with his teammates.

I will have a much bigger issue if this guy continues to play for us like he did for Chicago. Absolute garbage.

 

[Kaniac]

He's going to contribute as much as Wideman did. f*** all

 

[Jepprey]

Rather have Peyton Manning.

Yep, it was just words said in the heat of battle. We’ve all said stupid shit to people we either love and care about in the heat of the moment (our parents in our rebel years or our spouses) that we don’t mean,but definitely intended to say to piss them off or get their attention. It’s definitely happened between strangers and we are all guilty of this at least once in our lives.

If Connor can take the high road, be it he sincerely means it or it’s just lip service (but him reaching out to Manning to welcome him speaks volumes of his character) and forgive and forget, so can I.

Welcome to the team, Brandon. Hopefully he can be a positive contributor to the team and earn his paycheque.

Brandon Manning is fine.

Trading for him wasn't. Won't hold it against him. I hope he plays very well. I want him to bully star forwards.
Poor guy will have the fanbase against him from day one. It isn't his fault he was traded for our fifth highest goal scorer on the team.

The optimist in me believes he will use this as motivation to turn hisngame around and play well. He knows he’s not going to be readily accepted by some of his teammates, let alone the fan base so he’s going to have to work his ass off on the ice to gain the players’ trust and respect, as well as the fans of the team.

It’s not going to be easy and he has his work cut out for him.

This a feel good story in Tampa. But in Edmonton, just another disappointing storyline. Predictable ending. About a quarter of expectations achieved.

Oh yes, we’ve all read the script for this movie dozens of times. Similar endings every time.

But, f*** it. He’s on the team, I’ve accepted it. I’m not going to wish him ill-will as an Oiler and am hoping for the best, but expecting little.
