SoCalFlyfan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 http://www.flyersfancentral.com/2012/03/brandon-manning-comments-march-8/Seems like a pretty down to earth kid. Love the part about how he chose the Flyers over the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sekkes85 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Upper body injury... so could be anything from a concussion to a belly ache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3x Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Manning is going to be a solid NHL defenseman. The more time he gets up with the big boys the better. Obviously, that's not going to be this year... but I think next year is going to be interesting come training camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should come as no surprise because he's not that big and he's young. I had never heard anything about him so here's hoping he's not the second coming of Oskars Bartulis.

flyercanuck Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 @mojo1917 Not noticing a player, well especially a defenceman, in his 2nd ever NHL game is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wow nice wheels on Manning. (2 gms +2) Decent size too.Solid play so far, looks new bout has pretty much held his own.For myself he has bumped Lilja out the lineup.Wow Gus, Bourdon, and now Manning (and hopefully Kessel) makes more sense now that they shipped out the under achieving Marshall (who was a RFA anyways) so these other guys could get bigger minutes.Suddenly the future blueline looks more promising.

Didn't really notice him otherwisewas it kessel? if so then even more impressive. he really stood him up nicely. its unreal the amount of young talent this team has. it seems like they can call almost any one up and they will contribute.
