NHL In The Wrong For Blocking Gatineau Watch Party

The NHL has blocked a Montreal Canadiens playoff game watch party in Gatineau, Quebec, citing the venue in Gatineau that the watch party would be held at is in an area where the Ottawa Senators have NHL marketing rights. Gatineau is across the river from Ottawa, Ontario, but the religion of the Montreal Canadiens throughout all of Quebec, dates back well before the Ottawa Senators ever existed. The Montreal Canadiens are the soul of Quebec and the love for the Canadiens runs through all Quebecers. The Ottawa Senators should not have had a problem in celebrating the Canadiens in nearby Gatineau and the NHL should have asked the Senators if they had a problem with the watch party before they stopped it from happening.
