during the draft, but it wasn't enough. I'm not surprised that they were

It's just perfect. He almost feels that he wasn't "booed enough" and he understands the situation perfectly. (he expected worse, much worse)

As he says (via a free translation from Slovak, to English), it's been three years that Canadiens fans have been presented with Shane Wright as the savior and as the first pick in the 2022 draft.

And all of a sudden, a Slovakian comes out of nowhere and "mugs" Shane Wright, to join the hockey club of the most passionate city in the world. He gets it.

His reading of the situation and especially his reaction to it show us that he seems to have the right approach to deal with the Montreal reality.
