The Maple Leaf was the signet of the Canadian Corps in the First World War, for which the team is named.

The plural of that symbol is Maple Leafs.

The team is named in honour of the Corps, not the leaves of a tree.

This then went on to the become the Colours of the Confederation itself

It's no different than the Canadian flag, plural of which would also be Maple Leafs rather than maple leaves.

The uniforms in Blue & White is the Colours of St. Andrew

Capps tells me that the Avs don't even recognise Her Majesty as head of State.

Why don't people from Toronto know how to spell the plural of leaf?

Smitty's answer is better, but mine is also accurate as well.

Maple Leafs > Maple Leaves
It's a no brainer.

Hockey Judas, blessed by the hockey gods with two stanley cups for ditching the Leafs, my dad was right.

They ain't the Nordiques anymore, they in America now, good riddance to Confederation, rewarded for leaving the shotgun marriage with a Stanley Cup in their first year in Denver. How sweet it is.

The good people of the great state of Colorado recognize HM as the Head of State of Canada.

You'll be the one in hell, a hell of your own making, a hell you'll have to live in even while your alive, and for eternity after death, all while the hockey gods reward me for ditching that hell.
:twisted:

Enjoy perpetual failure, England.

Capps is not a Judas, he's from Hamilton not Toronto. Hamilton has its own hockey team, the Bulldogs.

I managed to avoid being a Leafs and Browns fan, but I am doomed to be a Ticats fan, my dad unfortunately is saddled with all three, all his teams are cursed.
