The Montreal Canadiens host the Seattle Kraken this evening for Montreal's home opener and the emotions are running high in pre-game.

Of course, nobody does a pre-game ceremony quite like the Habs and this evening's home opener will be one to remember for years to come. The hockey world, of course, lost legendary goaltender Ken Dryden this past summer after a brief battle with cancer. He was 78 years old.

This evening, the Montreal faithful gave Dryden a lengthy standing ovation at the Bell Centre.

Check it out:

Chills...

Again, nobody... NOBODY... does a pre-game ceremony like the Habs. An outstanding tribute, as always.

Again... chills.
