However, lloks like good old <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mtlteamcolors.jpg" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a> settles it once and for all. Now how sweet would it be for the Canadiens to celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2009 by playing a game in their original blue and white -- and to do it outside.
