You can call it 6"3 bud
Nobody says 6"2 and a half
And nobody cuts off an actual .5 of height to force him at 6"2 because you know , you cant
So just go with 6"3

Habs gotta do a Dallas Stars and add 2 inches on every players.

 

[Rapala]

No I can say that the heat Slafkovsky and Reinbacher got were much hotter than those guys.

And a lot less objective.

People were saying he was 6’4”

He never seemed 6'4 those guys are usually lankier unless they weigh 230lbs and he never seemed that to me.

And I say this as a 6'4 person myself who even at 200 lbs I look skinny lol

Man I feel bad for this kid, he will never get a fair shake with this fan base.

All that matters is what management thinks of him and all I kept hearing lately is how poised with the puck and impressed they are with his performance at camp. They're doubling down hard on this pick and I get it, he has all the tools to be a first pairing all-around D-man.

I agree partly, I saw how Patrice Brisebois was treated and how it affected him. It's way more than management liking a player.

All we gotta do is show a pic of BG disaproving on the jumbotron and silence them

I appreciated when Gainey did that.
Patrice was at best a second pairing Dman often forced to play top pairing minutes, something he wasn't designed for. He played over a 1000 games.
Man the fans were hard on him

 

[Kennerback]

Slafkofsky had to fight through a lot of second guessing. I don’t think a single person still wants Wright over Slafkovsky (or I certainly hope not). Reinbacher has a much longer and tougher hill to climb. Ds take longer to develop and the 2023 draft was stronger.

With that said I think Reinbacher is a much better fit for the Habs today than the alternative. The only worthwhile argument left is could we have picked someone else at 5OA and flipped that player for someone better than Reinbacher today. Idk. In the end things worked out for the best.

The fan base is huge. There's a lot of toxic, uneducated people as part of the fan base. Mostly logical and intelligent people want him to succeed and be pull a Slaf just to spite those negative people.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

So is the “Reinbacher is 6’4”” crowd going to acknowledge he’s listed at 6’2 per the latest Habs measurements?

um how dare you?

 

[Naslund]

So tired of the not-picking-Michkov hangover by some Habs fan on this board. Here's are our projected wingers next year on the top two lines:
Slaf
Caufield
Demidov
Laine

You want Michkov over any of these guys? A guy that does not seem to be particularly pleasant to start with, and who is 5'9" and not interested in playing defense?

We need a Reinbacher-type player, we don't need Michkov.
