Just one question totally irrelevant but out of curiosity...

Isn't it supposed to be 'Leaves'? 'Leafs' sounds wrong to me, but there must be a reason why the team is called that way.

History of the Leafs goes back to World War 1 ,Conn Smithe the original owner was a general in the Canadian Armey ,when he bought the team he change the team name Maple Leafs because that leaf was on the sleeve of the Canadian soldiers and wanted on the Leaf Jerseys!

Haha I guess you're right, Brad. :-)

Although I'm a Habs fan, I would cheer for any True North Strong & Free team (except for les Nordiques but they're no longer around...) if any one of them were in contention for Stanley Cup.

It's been what... 25 years now? Boy... way way overdue!
