The Capitals celebrated this rule about a month ago with a 'sweater reversal
night'.  It was a promotion gimmick.  Strangely enough, it was against the
Canadiens.  I never thought I'd see the day when the Canadiens would wear
white in the Capital Centre!

Personally, I hate the rule being a lover of tradition and white uniforms.
