Manning said he was the target of some hateful words — even death threats — following the on-ice crash that interrupted McDavid’s promising rookie campaign just a few weeks in.
“There was stuff on Twitter and everything, all kinds of threats,” Manning, 25, told Philly.com Wednesday.
"People were saying they hope I get AIDS. All kinds of stupid stuff."
Likely from a lot of the pom pom waivers in the Edmonton media.
Eugene Melnyk likely would have made him subject to a forensic investigation, and I'm sure that though came across Katz's mind too.
I do think the play was a bit dirty. Pretty obvious that the Flyers knew no one on the Oilers would even address it to the point where they would worry about it. I would expect that Kassian may have orders to go out and do something about it.

Does this mean that McDavid will get death threats when he flees his soul crushing tenure at Edmonton, the microsecond he becomes an UFA in a couple of years?
