In the midst of a less than amazing season for the Habs, fans hoped to have one last party as the campaign dwindles. Unfortunately, Bettman isn't on board.
Three of the most prominent groups for fans in Montreal media, Habs Eyes on the Prize, GAME OVER: Montreal, and HabsFanTV, planned a massive watch party for the Canadiens game against the Maple Leafs.
Unfortunately, the league got involved and cancelled it, citing that watch parties of this magnitude (with a small entry fee) were against the rules.
