Habs Fans Reactions to Drafting David Reinbacher

[Asymmetric Solution]

Not sure if this is true or not but pretty disgusting if it is. You have to wonder if the kid signs there. Management doesn’t even want him to report to NA allegedly because of this.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like this.

Not shocking at all

 

[Koivu11]

I haven’t seen any evidence of this but there’s always going to be a few mentally unstable nutjobs in large groups of people.

 

[NyQuil]

Embarrassing.

 

[Peasy]

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Well seeing the outrage just on here amongst Habs fans, it doesn't surprise me

 

[RedHawkDown]

So embarrassing, it’s a god damned game people

 

[DickSmehlik]

Dumb reason to not bring him over.

If his play warrants it, he should be in NA and the haters can go fly a kite.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Shocking. With the way they acted all season about Florida’s pick it’s no surprise the temper tantrum has turned into this. Be better.

 

[sansabri]

bring him over. he's gonna be good

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

If my org tanked and then passed up Cooley, Michkov, Leonard, Nemec, Tkachuk and Hughes for Reinbacher, Slaf and Kotkaniemi...I'd be pissed too!

They've been really smart in a lot of ways, but the top picks + the strange moves (Newhook?) set the rebuild back. Imagine if they had Cooley, Michkov and Tkachuk right now?

 

[Baksfamous112]

This is really embarassing. Its as if they want him to fail just to have something to whine about.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

It sucks to say, but I’m not the least bit surprised. Passionate/Crazy coincide with each other.

Why direct it at the guy who had no agency or decision-making on the situation?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Management has flunked on their top picks for sure but it’s not a reason to send death threats to an 18 year old kid.

Habs fans will have lots more to complain about when they find themselves in the same position 5 years from now watching a team with no elite stars playing above their pay grade.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Reason #378 why many players don't wanna play in Canada.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

It’s amazing how removed a person can get from reality when they don’t check their emotions.

 

[njdevil26]

Be mad at the organization, not the kid. It's not unique to Montreal... but fans have to realize at a certain point if the treat kids/players like this it is absolutely going to affect whether players sign in your city.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

In all honesty, I think the Habs could put up one of the worst records of all time this season.

The entire Atlantic is going to be fighting for the playoffs, the Metro is loading up....could be a bloodbath.

That would be fine, if they were taking it out on the team.

They're taking it out on the kid.

 

[Shocker]

Classless mouthbreathers.

 

[BKarchitect]

Don’t worry the same idiots will claim he is greatest defensive prospect of the decade within 3 months.

 

[Mrfenn92]

He’s going to be a good player in this league. Unfortunately like anything there will always be a segment of each teams fan base that are just straight scumbags.

 

[Tuggy]

Good to see Habs fans embarrassing themselves again sending threats and hate messages to an 18 year old...

f***ing idiots.

I'll never understand it.

Really bad. Tanking breeds losing.
