Montreal one of 4 teams to get 0 US National TV Games



I know they’re not a good team but that’s pretty harsh. Only original six team with less than 11.

    When I see stuff like this I’m always curious to see how it was the year before, I feel like the Habs aren’t likely to get a lot of national airtime in the US since we’re a Canadian team in a francophone market.

    When they’re more competitive they’ll get some.

    The real drama is Arizona getting less games than Canadian teams.

    Edit : TOR and EDM getting a lot of national games. Let’s just say it’s pathetic ARI is only getting one. CBJ and ANA getting only three is pretty bad.

    Glad I get them for most games on ESPN+

    Imagine having a viable TV coverage for our sport

    Their loss.
    Let’s face it, the NHL would really rather the Candian teams didn’t exist. Despite the truth that the Rags, , Fleas , and Habs pay most of the bills.
    The only NHL teams that rank in the top 100 of franchise values according to Forbes.

    “Games airing exclusively on TNT/TBS, ESPN/ABC, or HULU/ESPN+”

    Does that mean that it’s always gonna be 0 since we have every game in French?

    It would be fun if 3 of the 4 teams made the final 4.

  9. Why would any Habs fan care about American tv

  10. Slubber-Degullion

    Good, I don’t want to watch hockey on those networks.

    Who cares?

    Most Americans have only ever heard of Toronto, the other cities would confuse them. McDavid is McDavid.

    As a Habs fan from New Jersey this disappoints me immensely

    I mean… The 4 teams are from canada… Say hello to Gary for this one

    Does that mean habs fan living in the US can watch every game on ESPN+ without blackouts (except for when playing local market teams)?

  15. The craziest thing is we might be the fanbase with the most fans across the entire USA

    Habs fan in Wisconsin married to a Flames fan. Awesome

    Tell me again Arizona is an important market.

    They are really pushing McDavid as you’d expect.
