Habs Fans Reactions to Drafting David Reinbacher

[Svechhammer]

Of course now this thread is turning into a rally around the thought that the Habs fans who are acting like this are the true victims here, because we dared bring the actions and reactions to light

 

[A1LeafNation]

Wow.

 

[Elvs]

They had the chance to draft a potential franchise player (which they don't have), and I think at best they got a low-end 1D.

People would've said the same thing in 2008 had the Habs picked Erik Karlsson #5 instead of Nikita Filatov.

 

[Pazucha]

All of a sudden every habs fan wanted to draft Cooley in 2022

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Montreal typical. On the bright side it seems eventually not a single pro player will want to live or play in Canada so it really is a long term win.

 

[timmeh]

So no to Reinbacher because he was born in the same country as someone who led a different country to a world war and died 60 years before Reinbacher was even born.

But yes to the guy who’s arguably supporting a current dictator and his on-going war.

Seems like reasonable people…

I think this is a made up story just like the pipe bomb story with leafs fans and radko gudas and Wes McCauley family receiving death threats in the playoffs

I mean you can just go up to his instagram and see some of the posts with your own two eyes.

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.

Stop downplaying it. Thanks.

Justice doesn't need logic, just passion.

 

[SenzZen]

Embarrassing.

Darkest day?

 

[Garl]

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?

What has Cooley done in NHL?

On Tkachuk, favorite for #3 was Filip Zadina, Kotkaniemi was a reach ahead of him rather than Tkachuk

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Yeah like the leafs fsn with Marner

Hope u dont think it dont happen with the Yankees, the cowboy ? How many racisme thing we still see in the USA, but but but the habs right

So i guess its too hard for some people to use the word SOME HABS FAN right

 

[Gardner McKay]

What a tolerant group of people.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

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.

There is no way for a fanbase of millions to control negative effects that come about from a select group of delusional idiots.

 

[Danarqhy]

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.

Not really, all this thread is doing is shitting on most of the fanbase that had nothing to do with the reprehensible acts (that are not even confirmed) just by virtue of being part of the same large group of people. If rumblings from some crazed fans was the barometer for a thread that X is sending nasty messages to Y player, we would have thread on this non stop... Twitter is a cesspool and most of it isn't worthy of covering.

There really is no other reason for this thread to exist besides to dump on an entire fanbase, as this is already being discussed in the prospect thread on David Reinbacher. Not exactly sure what positive is going to come out of here besides fanbase bashing.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Embarrassing indeed sad that this can happen today still. What a world we live in where a few looney tunes make a whole city look bad. Keep your head up kid Montreal is a wonderful city with a lot of great fans don't mind the few nut jobs.

 

[Rude Dog]

That poor kid. Dedicates his entire life for that moment. Carey forgets his name. Mic hardly works. Analyst says they should have taken Leonard. Now this. Not right. Kid simply showed up for the draft.

 

[SUX2BU]

lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If we eliminated social media we'd probably be one step closer to world peace.

For sure but it's a shame that the select group is the one making headlines.

 

[Primary Assist]

Just horrible. This reminds me of the bigoted idiots in that livestream with K'Andre Miller. If only there was a way for teams to fire bad fans

 

[Koivu11]

Stop downplaying it. Thanks.

Downplaying it?

 

[Boomstick]

People are awful.

Maybe next time they should just announce him from "Parts Unknown" like the WWE used to do.

The problem is that the weakest dogs always bark the loudest, and they're often the ones that get heard.

Just kill social media. We don't need it, thanks. Not every voice needs to be heard.
