  1. It is possible that David Reinbaker was eating in Saint Sauveur restaurant (Gio's) yesterday night🤔 I think i see him or is twin !!!

  2. As a 75 yr old Hab fan, I can tell you are a truly good character just by the way you speak! I can’t wait to see you play!😍

  3. These promotional pieces do nothing for me. The habs put too much into marketing and and public relations, and not enough into building a competitive team. They are doubling down on media to make us swallow the "Mitchkov Amnesia" pill. Reinbacher is a great kid and if ever he reads this, I wish him all the success in the world and will support him fully. Reinbacher is unfortunately in an uncomfortable position created by the Kent Hughes. He will forever be compared to Mitchkov and if Mitchkov turns out to be a generational superstar as predicted, Reinbacher will have to carry the stigma of "we could have had Mitchcov" throughout his career. I hope this will not affect him negatively in his development and I wish him the best in every way.

  4. Awesome player I can't wait…the management has a big decision to make…I want him here now but the Media will put him under a microscope regardless of where he plays here 🤔that why I think one more year in the Swiss league will only make him better 🤔I've watched him on the small ice & it doesn't seem to faze him so we might as well GO HABS GO 💕

  5. Such a good kid. I had a feeling he would be selected. He's a talented dman. I wish him a bright future

  6. Welcome to Montreal David. We’re all rooting for you to become one of the Habs’ best Dmen for many years to come.

  7. David you are an outstanding young man. Best wishes to you. Montreal is fortunate to have you.
