OK, all year I've been seeing road teams in their traditional home whites. I assumed that was going to be the rule for the year, thinking maybe some league honcho decided the away sweaters weren't selling as much as they should. Whatever. I don't care. Just so there's a system, 'cause it helps me figure out where a game's going down when I tune in mid-period.
But tonight, in their 3-2 home win over the Central Division doormat St. Louis Blues, the Detroit Red Wings had their white jerseys on.
What gives? Detroit doesn't have a "third" jersey — and neither do the Blues, as far as I know. Are there no rules for this anymore? What are they?
