The least we can say is the Montreal Canadiens defensive tackle picks David Reinbacher in 5th place overall, was not unanimous.
In fact, the vast majority of CH fans instead hoped the team leaders would pick the Russian phenom and possible future attacking superstar. Matvey Mikkov.
As reported on site Georges Laraque on the waves of BPM sportsSome CH supporters in the Nashville stands booed the selection and left the arena.
But many fans completely overstepped the mark.
While it’s okay to be disappointed or angry, there are limits to respect.
According to the site NHL breakersAfter his selection and while pursuing his dream of being drafted by an NHL team, Reinbacher received thousands of hate mail from frustrated Canadiens fans, some of whom even compared him to Hitler, the Austrian.
Top class!
Do you find it difficult to believe? Listen below to a hot excerpt of the reaction from several fans, captured live on social media following the Canadian’s selection.
The situation is so worrying that the journalist Arpon Basu from the athlete reports that the team’s management is seriously considering not bringing its new candidate to North America next season in order to protect him from unnecessary pressure from the population, which has asked for nothing and is already suffering from harassment.
Nothing gives Montreal a bad name among free agents in the NHL.
You really have to be a fool to do something like that.
