Habs Fans Reactions to Drafting David Reinbacher

[Gnashville]

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

Actually probably closer to #1


Of course if he turns out to be great and wants out of Montreal the same people will hate him for that.

 

[mattihp]

I thought he would be going by just David now

 

[Canadienna]

I thought he would be going by just David now

He actually did change his instagram name from David Reinbacher to just David

Glad to see he's got a sense of humour about it.

"Potential elite superstar". The Edmonton Oilers have two ACTUAL elite superstars, plus RNH pitching in over 100 points this past season. Have the Oilers won a Cup recently? How about the "Core Four" in Toronto? Did you watch the SCF, where the team with the 109 point player was dominated by a team that was led by Jack Eichel's 66 points (a number exceeded by five Panthers)?

Defense wins championships and the Canadiens picked up a potential elite RHD.

Literally nobody pegged him as a “elite defenseman” lmao. He’ll be a very nice top 4. Hope it was worth it when you watch Michkov scoring 50 goals each year and 110 points.

 

[HabsForHire]

They were going to play him this season?

Habs and rushing prospects goes hand in hand, so God I hope not but I wouldn't be suprised if that was their plan

Exactly

Hate the fact that we went with a defenseman but Reinbacher did nothing wrong

Martin Lapointe however, should have been fired yesterday (he's way, way overdue), and I'd fired Hughes and Gorton too while at it, just because I'm already tired of their lil' Old boys club

I agree with Lapointe but chill out on hughes lmao he's done great so far

 

[HuGo Sham]

Hahahahaha, if you don't think French is more important than talent in Montreal then you are beyond help

Beyond help? Pot meet kettle

 

[Weztex]

Hahahahaha, if you don't think French is more important than talent in Montreal then you are beyond help

Not among hockey fans, it's not.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I thought he would be going by just David now

The athlete formerly known as Reinbacher.

 

[njdevils1982]

le shame

 

[NoMessi]

Hope he refuses to sign with Habs so their fanbase learn what karma really is.

 

[ItWasJustified]

I believe this story originated with Arpon Basu of The Athletic.

Just like all hockey ''journalists'' he spends the majority of his life on tw*tter looking for things so he can exaggerate and deviate from the truth. He probably came across the soundclip in the OP on tw*tter and decided to write a blown up story about how hateful this fanbase is.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Well.... this forum is also social media so you kinda do

Well he doesn't identify as someone who uses it soooo whattcha gonna do now!?!?!?

What's reason # 284?

Scott the Dick

I hope the same happens to whatever team it is that you cheer for that I don't care about, so that you can also learn what karma is.

Literally nobody pegged him as a “elite defenseman” lmao. He’ll be a very nice top 4. Hope it was worth it when you watch Michkov scoring 50 goals each year and 110 points.

It will certainly look bad if mm reaches those heights. That is far from a guarantee.

 

[MisterY]

Please don’t put all Habs fans in the same bucket. I´m a Habs fan and although I am disapointed by our first round selection, It would never occur to me to do something like that.

there are morons everywhere. And since the Habs have the luck (or bad luck) to have a lot of fans, there are more chances to find morons.

Some fans say it is hard to love this team because of its management. I say it is sometimes hard to love this team because of some of its fans…

 

[Chet Manley]

People put a lot of stock in social media hate? I hope the players don't, but it must to hard for some to get past.

A lot of people quit public life because of years of social media hate so i would say so yes.

 

[Canes]

Oh wow, the fanbase who still sends social media hate to Kotkaniemi years after an offer sheet sent hate messages to a draft pick they dislike? I am shocked.

 

[majormajor]

With who was left on the board? They sure did.

And nobody thought he was going 6th lol

That's not true, Reinbacher was mocked to Montreal at 5th or AZ at 6th for months. It was going to be one of those two.

 

[dubey]

How hard is it to say Orville Redenbacher

 

[JianYang]

°

I really believe, and this is as a Toronto fan, that we are only talking about a few tweets here and there. I find it hard to believe a large group of people would threaten an 18yr old like this

This isn't to say a lot of Montreal fans are not upset about the pick but I have to believe the vast majority of fans are reasonable people

This is unacceptable regardless but I do wonder how much of the threats were from people even younger than reinbacher.

 

[BLONG7]

How hard is it to say Orville Redenbacher

Almost as hard, as Claude Giroux!! LOL

 

[Maple Leaf]

not his fault he was drafted by the unique organization

 

[BLONG7]

I mean, it WAS a brutal pick, but it’s not his fault.

LOL................hilarious.

The four forwards they really wanted, all got selected..............so they took the #1 Dman in the draft.

Yes, they need scoring, and everyone thought they would take a forward............that was the surprise, but not even close to brutal.

 

[Weztex]

With who was left on the board? They sure did.

And nobody thought he was going 6th lol

I just googled and went with the first 20 recent mock drafts. This includes NHL.com, ESPN, The Hockey Writers, Bleacher Report, Daily Faceoff, The Athletic... Here's where Reinbacher was projected.

6, 8, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 5, 8, 5, 6, 6, 8, 16, 5, 6, 6, 5, 9, 10, 7

Median is exactly 6th.

This time of year, fans show their true ignorance............a kid they have never seen play, gets crapped on when he is not The Sexy Pick.
