Because the Flames didn't have a first or second rounder that year, people focused on players who were likely to be available in the middle of the third round, and he was one that people focused on as the target for the Flames.
As usually happens, when he was still available at the Flames pick, those people were upset that the Flames took Reinhart. Then, they were even more upset that he was drafted immediately after by the Islanders.
As you may have noticed, some people freak the hell out when things don't go the way they wanted them to. I assume that happened in this case.
EDIT:
Here are the only two threads I can find. No spectacular freak outs, but the Russian kid seems like he has an attitude problem (don't they all?):
