All Bettman does is take queues from the ownership. He'll come into a market and say, "What do you want me to say." Clearly CSEC was comfortable with Bettman saying this and probably asked him to.

He generally doesn't (Arizona, Atlanta, Carolina, Florida, Ottawa, etc.) because the local ownership groups don't ask him to say that.
