The Landlubber’s Guide to the Montréal Canadiens

Hey you. You’re swept up in all this Seattle Kraken hype. You want to know more about hockey but don’t know where to start. Well, we want to help make these games easy and fun for you to watch.

Throughout the season, we’ll release Landlubber’s Guides designed with the new fan in mind. This includes basic need-to-know info for you to absorb before you watch Kraken games and highlights.

Let’s dive in to the Montréal Canadiens.

Are they any good?

Hard to say. The Canadiens had a surprisingly good postseason performance last year. They went all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals!

But the Habs (as the team is also called) have had a slow start this year. They lost 4 of their 10 biggest point contributors in the offseason along with their veteran captain defender Shea Weber. They’ve only won a single game coming into Tuesday night. Starting out the season with five losses in a row is rough.

Who should I look out for?

Any Seattle ties?

Odds and Ends

The puck drops between these two teams tonight in Seattle at 7pm PST on ROOT Sports NW for regional viewers and ESPN+ for out-of-market fans.
