Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers
The #Oilers have recalled forward Connor Clattenburg from the Condors & placed forward Noah Philp on long-term injured reserve.

The reaction from fans was intense. Here are some of the highlights:

Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer @Bob_Stauffer
Will be very interested to see the energy that Connor Clattenburg brings for the
Edmonton Oilers The former Flint (OHL) Captain plays a very loud game. He had 59 PIMs in 15 AHL games and hit everything that moved!

Former Bakersfield sportswriter Mike Griffith @MikeGriffith54
He has a lot to learn, but Clattenburg will make an impact. Or two. Or three.

Flames Nation writer Ryan Pike @RyanNPike
Based on some viewings in prospect games, pre-season games and the AHL: Oilers fans will love this guy, Oilers opponents will flat-out *hate* him.

Cult of Hockey contributor Ira Cooper, OriginalPouzar @coopsie39
I’ve watched all the Condor’s games and I love his potential but he’s earned his poor goal share and I fear the org is putting him a position to get hurt. I know they was 4th line energy but this is a slap in the face to Jarventie and Hutson.

Oilers fan wormhasturned @rdbyeg
Love to see him get a chance. Hopefully they won’t force feed him too fast. He’s a gamer no doubt. Hope he’s ready.

Edmonton Journal writer Jim Matheson @jimmathesonnhl
Oilers did not claim local product winger Mason Geertsen who would give them some toughness. Nobody else did either. They have Connor Clattenburg in Bako but he is not ready for NHL. Oilers are loaded with forwards but they could use some meanness.

Oilers fan  Jeremy Sabo @sabo63443
He is gonna show Frederic how he is supposed to be playing, hopefully it becomes contagious!!!

Welcome, Conner FlattenBurg

Oilers prospect writer Bruce Curlock @bcurlock
Oh mama.

Oilers blogger Shaedon @Shae_Nuge93
If Clattenburg just kills someone once a game I’ll be happy

Oilers hockey writer for Daily Hive Preston Hodgkinson @NHLHodgkinson
I really didn’t think that Clattenburg was gonna get NHL games this season due to this being his first pro season. But with the team lacking energy and taking on the Panthers this weekend… I can see the logic

Oilers fan Trent Wilhauk @TheMrWilhauk
I got a feeling that you don’t want to miss the opening faceoff tomorrow against Florida… Think there might be some fun tomorrow

Finally we’re bringing in some muscle and and lil ATTITUDE.·

Oilers fan Jeremy McKain @jeresells
Wow this really shows the Lack of life on this team when you are calling up a 20 year old to crash and bang.

Oilers fan TylerDT- @qauckenbush17
They recalled CLATTY for Florida, the management actually finally listened, That’s an insane game to come into, energy and absolute being a dawg, This shows me Edmonton doesn’t wanna get flushed by Florida.

Oilers fan Tony @SherwoodTrooper
This is awesome!!! Clattenburg is the type of guy who will get us all going!!! Gonna be fireworks in Florida I’m guessing!!!

Oilers fan Oilers Braz @BrazOilers
Actually kinda cool. The guys probably gonna get walked but atleast we’ll have some good hits 🤘

Oilers fan Darrenthiel @Darrenthiel2
He’ll be a instant fan favorite he plays an old school game lots of energy grit,hits and fights and makes plays perfect timing to bring him up

Oilers fan Oily Big Dog @OilyBigDog
As long as Knob let’s him off the leash, he’s going to inject some serious life in to this line up guaranteed

Oilers fan PB @Bains0613
Clattenburg gonna play more physical in one shift than Frederic has all season 😂

Oilers podcaster Karman Gill @Kgill39
HERE WE GO!

Friedman on 32 Thoughts “The Oilers as an organization were not happy with some of the post celebration commentary from the Panthers. The Panthers really rubbed that second one in, they really did” this kid is coming to f*ck sh*t up, going to be a fan favorite immediately

Oilers fan Agent Granata @MasterTech_Ben
Finally this team will have some hard working grit. It’s been far too long. You need to have some pesty players on your team to get opponents off their game. Hopefully they play him more than 5 minutes a night

Oilers fan Buck Iles @IlesBuck
Love this move!! Yes there will be mistakes but the chaos energy and physicality far outweighs! Hope the kid takes full advantage and should’ve been up weeks ago!

Oilers fan Brad Lauder @OILfanincowtown
Bobby Probert is somewhere smiling knowing there’s still kids that play the way Clatty does…. I’m absolutely stoked for this.

Oilers fan Resplendent Beetle @rangerbob94
With the opponent being Florida, this is petty and awesome but this player is nowhere near NHL ready. Goal share is now sub 30%. Hopefully one and done and he gets tossed for gooning some dumb ass Panther.

Oilers fan NHL_Oilers @OilersMcDrai
Clattenburg will bring much needed energy and physicality, but he’s struggled in the AHL with outscoring and puck skills. There’s at least some upside: in his final OHL season, coaches voted him one of the best defensive forwards, best body checkers, and hardest workers.

Oilerss blogger x – Lotsy @lotsryan
Daaaaaaaamn, I’m shocked they actually did this! I don’t think he’s ready, but he will definitely inject some energy at the end of a long road trip. Just in time for Florida.

More to come…
