Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks Both Skate Out in White Threads in Classic Mix-Up
During tonight's rematch of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, the Boston Bruins were scheduled to wear their white-based 'Meth Bear' Reverse Retro jerseys, but apparently the Canucks never got the memo. Both teams skated out for warm-ups wearing white jerseys, sending a wave of confusion across the building.
Since the Bruins had scheduled the Reverse Retro night in advance, one would think the onus falls on the Canucks to change. However, it was the Home team who would end up changing, leading us to suspect that the Canucks neglected to pack their blue threads on their five-game road-trip.
Murphy offered clarification of what may have transpired: "Hearing that maybe the Bruins were just wearing those for warmups. But yes, the Canucks would usually only travel one set of jerseys for a 5-game trip."
This kind of mix-up might be expected in a minor-league contest, and possibly even a lower-professional league game. But in the NHL? Yikes.
