Brandon Manning Suspended 5 Games for Racial Slur
Edmonton is no good.

Should players have similar backlashes to coaches? Good on him for apologizing but it should never happen to start with.

They played against the Ontario Reign (Kings affiliate) yesterday. On MLK Day too... Keep it classy Edmonton!

TIL that Elliotte Friedman is a wild man. I'd never seen his Twitter picture before.

It was a hard-hitting, at times dirty affair that featured a number of heavy hits and plenty of after-the-whistle altercations. Three of them resulted in the departure of Bakersfield veterans, notably Brandon Manning who received a game misconduct six minutes into the second period after an altercation with abrasive winger Bokondji Imama, who spent much of the night getting under the skin of various Condors. Manning took the bait, and according to the official gamesheet was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct under AHL Rule 75.5(ii), which states:
Any player who uses obscene gestures on the ice or anywhere in the rink before, during or after the game. The Referee shall report the circumstance to the President of the League for further disciplinary action. Any player assessed a game misconduct under this section shall automatically be suspended for the next two (2) regularly scheduled games of his team.
Ominous overtones to that whole situation, especially given Imama’s African heritage (his parents immigrated to Montreal from Democratic Republic of Congo) though it’s premature to jump to conclusions beyond the above facts. Stay tuned.

He'll blame Tkachuk, because he's creepily obsessed.

I told him on Twitter that he should just ask Matthew out and get it over with. I expect a good blocking shortly, but the guy is so worthless.

Manning is unlikely to ever play with the Oilers themselves again, so Staples won't bother spinning it. Only if Manning was actually with Edmonton would he be finding ways to justify racial slurs as not only acceptable, but just part of the game.

Should be a no brainer. Contract termination. As angry as an opponent can make you, crossing that line brings it from game to personal.

Sounds about right. Not sure how you justify ever bringing him up or employing him still with Nurse, Bear, and Khaira on team.

Bokondji Imama. Let's trade for this guy and play him against the oilers. Kassian will have a hay day with both him and Tkachuk.

Yeah they should just terminate his contract. I don't think it matters who's on the team at all. Fire him into the sun.

If Bill Peters can be force to resign over a long-ago incident, the Oilers organization should terminate Manning's contract. I'm sure there's clauses for personal conduct detrimental to the organization.

Wait, Oilers should not be able to avoid the cap hit for something like this. They’ll literally have the entire team going full metal racist to get out of there.
