Seriously?
Millions of eyeballs is the answer.
Its the same reason they are on prime time TV every single Saturday night during the season.
"Canadians" wont watch "just because" either. Yes as a nation we watch the sport more so than the US, but when the Leafs and/or the Canadiens are involved, there is a huge difference in ratings. Ratings = $$.
TV advertising 101.
I hope this is all moot anyways, and that the Bruins send the Leafs packing in a 6-1 whitewashing.
