Come on.

My point in an around about way is the NHL wants nothing to do with the city of Hamilton and the Leafs have asserted their rights to this territory by charging promoters to stage pre season games here in the past.
Now a part of the city of Hamilton has been chosen as Hockeyville and been awarded a pre season game. I wonder if Gary Bettman knows that Dundas is part of Hamilton. Given the recent shenanigans involving the NHL and the Phoenix situation and the fact that he has made it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with this city, I would love to know his reaction once he finds out Dundas is actually in Hamilton.
