People should go cheer for him at dev camp and try to bring a positive attitude, would be nice to have him in Laval

Anyone targeting the kid is a scum and a big fucking loser. The kid didn’t choose to be picked at 5. Taking it against him is shameful. If you dont like the pick, be mad at management, nut the player, and wish him the best.
Edit: When though I hate the pick I wish to God he proves me and others like me wrong but I will critique their pick and decisions, and I don’t that is unfair for anyone to do. GM and President of hockey OP should be able to handle criticism from the fans. This is OUR team, not theirs. Eventually, they will get fired, but they are not firing us.

The reaction is literally embarrassing
Idiot_BearMan
The whining in this fanbase is fucking atrocious. I’m actually ashamed of a lot of you. Fucking armchair GMs who think they know everything.
Beefiest_bison
Honestly with our media, insane fanbase, and high taxes, you have to be a special breed to want to play here lmao.
MaggmaX1
Shit like this makes me not want to associate with this fanbase. How about we just trust the executives that make it their JOB to build teams instead of acting like we know more and bitching when our team makes a pick we perceive as “bad”.

After seeing how we treated Price for so long, our one elite superstar, I’m convinced most people are more into judging the players than actually watching and enjoying the game. Reinbacher is our prospect now and he’s gonna play with our favorite player. We can judge the decision in 5 years but until we see him play i think we should all be excited about him

Some Habs fans are mentally five years old

if you so pissed, how about you become a professional scout and make habs pick your favourite player next time…
Sportsguy1223
The reaction is insanely over the top, I agree with that. But I think it’s 100% fair to question management when they make moves one doesn’t agree with
WesMcCauley
The reaction is absolutely messed up. Just welcome this kid, make him feel at home, cheer for him. He’s gonna be a good player, you should root for him now. Michkov is not a Hab, move on with your life or just move to Philadelphia if you want.
I’ve seen people make Hitler jokes and stuff. That’s just f*cked up, dont do that.
18isHisNumber
We seriously going to shout memes at a kid just because our management thinks he was the BPA? Get a life you are all grown ups with jobs, hopefully Defence wins you championships tampa, vegas are very good recent examples

Jesus fucking Christ it’s a game…..seriously

They need to get off social media. The hundreds of people spewing hate on Twitter don’t represent the thousands of other Habs fans.

I mean I agree the general reaction sucked but don’t act like it’s a surprise. This is the most passionnate fanbase in Hockey. I never trashtalked on Reinbacher, but yes, after paying thousands of dollars in the past 3 years on tickets, jerseys, merch etc. I think I have the right to respectufully be disappointed in a pick when my perception is that it was not the best move for the organization (and maybe it is, I don’t have the knowledge of the team, but it’s still my perception and I can have it and share it in a respectful way). I hate the fact that the exec. tries to victimise the team. Yeah, the reaction sucked, welcome to Montréal, if you’re outstanding, you’re gonna be a god, if you disappoint, people are gonna shit on you. Sadly how it works. You also can go play in Arizona where no one cares. Like Fowler said ; with pressure comes pride.

It’s fucked up to be hating on the player. Hate on the guy who made the pick if you must.

I just don’t know what management expected. Here you have a franchise that hasn’t had either a PPG, 100 pts, or 50 goals scorer in I don’t know how many decades. Who has seen playoff runs die because of a lack of offense. Now having the chance to draft a possible offensive superstar at the number 5 spot which basically never happens. And yet you pick a defenseman, in a forward-heavy draft, with no other pick until the 3rd round. And to add to that, you can’t even project David as an #1D? Of course people are gonna be mad. They shouldn’t direct that at David, because he hasn’t done anything wrong, but management is obviously gonna get heat for something like that.
This would go better if management could be honest about why they skipped Michkov instead of vaguely suggesting that it’s because of the unknowns. What unknowns? What are they? Be specific and maybe people are gonna be able to understand your side of the matter.
douce_abeille
Don’t look at his Instagram comments because it’s embarrassing too.
And apparently 2 young players from the organization are taken aback by the fans and their reactions. Like this isn’t normal and the amount of hate isn’t justifiable because ‘’fans are tired’’. No, those people need to go outside.
DELALADE
I hope most of you Baffoon here feels bad. The org pays scout well for years to make the best pick and you think your neckbeard ass knows more for you 2 years in junior A and your sport escapeism. Stop trying to bring down others and be happy for once
bordercauley
Anybody going after Reinbacher himself is ridiculous. As Habs fans we should cheer for this player to succeed.
Unfortunately the fanbase has millions of people in it, and there’s always going to be these people. Combine that with decades of mediocrity and an unpopular pick and you’re going to get some pretty awful reactions. Not sure what the solution is. Just gotta hope that the people doing this feel some shame or that the players are able to tune it out.

Nobody should be trash talking the player. He looks like he’ll be a beast for us.
But management deserves every bit of questioning that’s coming their way.
jaydub23
When was the last time we cheered for the 1st rounder? KK was booed, Slaf was booed, Reinbacher is the same… I know alot of fan bases are like this but c’mon people
sh00ner
It will always be like this, I love the team but it’s an extremely toxic fanbase to be a part of. All the language politics alone are bad enough to sift through, then you add stuff like this on top of it and I will zone out from time to time because it’s just not fun to be a part of.
