Neat fact. Thanks for pointing that out!
D'oh! I can't believe I forgot Chicago.

Before Reebok narrowed the colour palette there were actually three shades simply referred to as "red". The "red" used by Montreal was the darkest followed by the shade used by Columbus/Edmonton with the lightest being used by the remainder of teams who used red in the NHL.
