So just like the Mariners, if you don't have cable you cant watch. root sports BLOWS.
As this moment you may be correct. They mentioned some sort of AT&T service that will carry it as well.
I’m hoping for those that have cut the cable cord there will be other ways to view the Kraken. If they are smart they will find a way to get their product to their fanbase for free or extremely cheap.

I hope they are smarter than this. If you're trying to engrain a team into this market long-term, you've got to get young adults buying in, and I don't know anyone between 20-40 that has cable TV at this point.

Would love if I could just pay to stream Root for a monthly fee, but I am certainly not going to get cable ever again.

I hope they make this an option for those without cable.

The NHL on the GMs' call today shared its hopeful target date for puck drop next fall: Oct. 12.
Which is about a week or so later than normal.
Training camps hopefully opening Sept. 22.
Again, that Oct. 12 start date is if there are no delays.
