Summary: 


The NHL passed a rule change over the off-season stating that the home 
team can designate what sweater they want to wear if notice is given a certain
amount of time before game time.  Of course, the visitors then have to wear 
the complementary sweaters.

Personally, I feel that this sometimes gets confusing.  Whenever I see the
Habs play (which has been quite often lately; I just watched them beat the 
Sabres 3-1 (although the score should have been much higher in Montreal's 
favour)), I always have to wait until the play reaches centre ice to see 
what insignia is painted.  I wish that they would have kept the old rule so 
that I wouldn't have to worry about such things.  :-)  Oh well, at least the
Leafs will always be in their home whites at home ...
