While Toronoto-Montreal might get all of Canada watching, in terms of US ratings that would be a 0 from Canada since the majority of tv ads and revenue are based on the US ratings.
It would still get decent ratings from the US but not the huge numbers a Classic located in the US or involving US teams can generate. It still sounds like a dumb reason but the Commish still wants to expand the fanbase and interest in hockey in the southern US.
