Starting the season with two road games can put a team behind the 8-ball when it comes to gathering points. It could lead to an artificial sense of dread and puts extra mileage on the weary bodies of pro athletes who need more sleep than average humans. Seattle Sounders FC continue their five-of-seven on the road to start 2017 with a trip across the border against the Montreal Impact. The 4 PM game is the first available on ROOT Sports (outside of Seattle) and JOEtv for the year.
The match is at Olympic Stadium, so the frigid temperatures and wind chill will not effect the game.
