'…the league contacted CCM's plant just outside Montreal on the morning of April 4 and asked it had enough backstock of Sabres' home uniforms and matching socks. The company had the jerseys, although they had to be lettered and numbered. As for the 50 or so pairs of socks, those had to be made that day…By the end of the day, the jerseys and socks were en route to Toronto and were snuck into HSBC Arena about 11:30 p.m. that night. With the Sabres on the road in Boston, few knew what was in store.'
