FAQ: A list of the most frequently asked questions, and statements. 

Q: Is Toronto Maple Leafs grammatically correct?

A: Yes. The Leafs aren’t actually named after leaves. They are named after a World War I regiment, which makes Leafs a proper noun. A proper noun for those of you wondering is, defined by Wikipedia, as a noun representing a unique entity (such as London, Jupiter, John Hunter, or Toyota), as distinguished from a common noun, which describes a class of entities (such as city, planet, person or corporation). Proper nouns are not normally preceded by an article or other limiting modifier (such as any or some), and are used to denote a particular person, place, or object without regard to any descriptive meaning the word or phrase may have. Leafs can also be considered a headless noun, which once again verifies that Toronto Maple Leafs is indeed grammatically correct.

Q: Leafs have not won a cup since 1967. Were you aware of that fact?

Q: Are there things you won’t post?

A: Yes. Generally we don’t don’t censor articles or quotes, and we will post things, even if it is negative for the team or a specific player. Picture are a little different. We have no problems with posting game day pictures, and pictures from events. We also have no problem posting personal pictures that players tweeted on their Twitter accounts. We will however not post private pictures of players, that the media or the player in question did not release themselves. We also do not post any private information about the players, such as home addresses’ and phone numbers (not that we even have that information ourselves…but even if we did, we would not post it).
