Habs Fans Reactions to Drafting David Reinbacher

[Bouboumaster]

Disagreeing with the pick is one thing but that's not the kid's fault.

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

Never seen the hatred for a draft pick like this before.

Doesn't deserve that but the team deserves absolute pain and misery for not choosing Michkov.

History will not remember this player kindly when Michkov will take over this era and they had a chance to select him.

No superstar forward on the current team and no superstar in 30 years. Montreal is a sexy city. People are attracted to beauty not safety. They lost the chance of a lifetime and they will continue this cycle of losing for another 20 years.

People understand this, what hope is there for a future for this franchise?

Thread is created for no other reason than to shit on Habs fans, pretty easy to see. Nasty messages on twitter are pretty common place in sports and with other entertainment celebrities, this is hardly news and I'm sure you could find the same for many other teams that have big fanbases.

As a Habs fan who wanted Mitchkov, I gotta say, the people saying those things are not Habs fans. They are complete losers.

I have a Habs fan friend that is constantly wishing death upon Kent Hughes for picking Reinbacher (among other things). Honestly Habs fans are a different breed...

Who the f are you hanging out with?! I usually don't surround myself with psychopaths

I think this says more about you and who you associate with.

Habs fans are crazy, but they are usually fun crazy.

Thousands could be done from that one guy on our forum who switched to a flyers avatar.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Strange, it is not like he drafted himself.

it is odd, because if anything, it's the GM!

for example, the emails i'm sending right now are to Rob Blake not PLD

 

[Rob Brown]

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

Just to play devil's advocate, do you remember the hate and discrimination Kadri faced last year in the playoffs against a certain team? There are shitty people in every single fanbase.

 

[TheOrangeDesk]

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.

The entire east is mid

 

[WarriorofTime]

Harassing a teenager based on your own personal armchair scouting is low.

 

[pickles555]

Ridiculous,

I hate the pick too,

however, I am not angry at the player, I'm angry at the organization,

It's not the players fault

This is a very depressing outlook. Maybe give the kid a chance first. No guarantee with michkov either. He could end up like yakupov

 

[MCR74]

Welcome to Montréal, kid.

 

[Sun God Nika]

the messages should be redirected to their GM. The kid had no part in the wasted pick.

Yeah maybe they are pretty psychopathic. They are also extremely obsessed with the death of Brad Marchand. I just figured most Habs fans are like this.

 

[Hoverhand]

This happens with every big market fanbase in every major sport, it's a massive indictment of how people behave behind screens but we need to stop with the "Ugh, I can't believe X fanbase is filled with scumbags". It's never unique.

 

[sufferer]

Imagine being afraid of hockey fans.

Not true at all. I even caveated that it’s not 100% confirmed. However, the only way to address and remove this reprehensible behavior is to address it.

This is not the type of thing that should get swept under the carpet.

 

[Aphid]

I really wonder how true this is. I can understand fans wanting someone else but death threats, he’s from Austria like Hitler? Almost sounds like a parody account.

Mark Scheifele's family received death threats from them. They were going to charge Chara with a crime for his hit on Pacioretty (it was a dirty hit and should have been suspended btw) etc...

This is not a passionate fan base. Many of them are total lunatics so, sadly, this is actually believable.

Edmonton fans lol West wins a couple Cups and we're right back to this non-sense East vs West mentality.

 

[Coffey]

Psychotic.

 

[dukeofjive]

Human beings on social media are trash, wish the kid all the best.

 

[93gilmour93]

Imagine that your life is that boring you fill the time attacking a kid online who was drafted by a NHL team and hasn’t even played a game in the league. Keyboard warriors who wouldn’t dare say anything like this to a person’s face. Losers….

 

[Lt Dan]

So embarrassing, it’s a god damned game people
