I wouldn’t have cared if they were still in the bottom half, after all it’s rebuild year #1...

But congrats accepted and FUCK YES

Great. So now my Capitals have to deal with Boston sports fans. Thanks Toronto!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure they were ready to make the playoffs going in to the year, but a few of those guys have been as good or better then advertised.

I could be wrong, but I believe if we lose in regulation to the Jackets Boston moves back up because they hold the ROW tiebreaker, no? Isn’t Toronto only ahead of Boston because we’ve played less games?

Either way, SUCK IT

:)

Maybe. I’d rather face Boston. Caps have had their number all year. Toronto could be scary with their youth. Congrats on the playoffs! Nothing better than the Stanley Cup playoffs

So I gotta look at that shitty Leaves logo for 4 fucking games? What are you putting up after this week?

1) *Leafs

2) I may just leave it up longer for that :)

3) Unless I find something else I like between now and then it’ll revert to the burnout truck.

. Leafs isn’t a word. Unless you have a diploma from the GTA education system.

You know what is a word? CANADIENS. It’s even a fancy french word too!

“Maple Leaf”, as used to describe one of the players, is a proper noun. The collection of players makes it plural, and because that plural is of a proper noun, the correct plural is “Leafs” and not “leaves”.

You could potentially try and argue a “chicken or the egg” situation here, but either way it’s correct. If the players are first, each one is an individual “Maple Leaf”. If the team comes first, it was named in honour of the Maple Leaf Regiment... each soldier being a “Leaf” and the collection “Leafs”. Carrying the title over in the casual sense (Toronto Maple Leafs) makes a lot more sense than the formal (Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Team), and least from a modern POV.

On that note, since you bring up the Canadiens... It bore the names (English translations) “Canadian Athletic Club” and “Canadian Hockey Club”, which are similar in spirit to “Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Team”, before dropping most of the name to become the “Canadiens”. That’s a plural in the sense of players from “Club de hockey Canadien” rather than French for people of Canada, in the same way that “Leafs” refers to a collection of titled people rather than “leaves” of a tree. From a grammatical standpoint you are doing the same thing to each word.

I never thought of it that way. Makes perfect sense!

BTW: 1 down 3 to go. ;P
