did you ever stop and think that maybe the habs ownership wanted the opportunity to play in their away jerseys at home?
No kidding. Where on earth is this notion that the habs were "ordered" or that they "need to grow a spine" coming from?
If the Canadiens weren't interested, they wouldn't have played along. Simple as that.
As an aside, I can recall back in the 90's (when whites were the standard home uniform) that the oilers would play at least one home game a season in their blues. It was simply a one-off change and the fans liked it. I'm sure lots of teams used to do this.
