Should the baseball team be mentioned here as well? Or should a separate article be created? Adam Bishop 03:24, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Little question: why are the team the Maple Leafs and not the Maple Leaves? 81.156.162.8 01:04, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Apparently because "Maple Leaf" is a proper name, and so the plural simply adds an "S" rather than following the usual rules. Just as the correct plural of Land Rover's Discovery car is "Discoverys" rather than "Discoveries". Loganberry 01:54, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Actually, It's because Conn Smythe, an Irish immigrant, had poor grammer. when asked to change the name of the team from the "Toronto St. Pat's" to something more patriotic, he pluralized Leaf incorrectly 207.236.151.102 19:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

List of Toronto Maple Leafs players

I have started the List of Toronto Maple Leafs players. I was surpised to see that there wasn't one already. I was wondering, since we now have a place to put all the Leafs, could we shorten the "Not to be forgotten" list? It does appear to be a bit too long. We need some sort of 'limit' to the number of players in "Not to be forgotten". Masterhatch 4 August 2005

PS When you add players to the Maple Leafs page, could you also add the same player here :List of Toronto Maple Leafs players. Thanks! Masterhatch 5 August 2005

I don't see the point in this list when we have Category:Toronto Maple Leafs players. -- Jao 11:45, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

That category only shows Leafs players who have articles on Wiki and only players that have that category added to them. The List of Toronto Maple Leafs players is an attempt to list all of the Leafs players whether they have articles on Wiki or not. Masterhatch 5 August 2005

I've compiled the list of current Leafs players back on September 27th, 2005, using the New York Rangers wikipedia page as a format guide. In doing so, I replaced the "current notable Leafs" section. Amchow78 29 September 2005

Hall of Famers

In doing my edits league wide, it struck me that the Boston HOF entry was over twice as long as Toronto's, and that wasn't right. I was shocked that the Kid Line (Conacher, Primeau, Jackson) hadn't been included, and I bet others aren't as well. It might be a while before I get to it, so if someone more plugged into the Leafs beats me to it, terrific! RGTraynor 08:43, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Questionable Feat?

Ummm... what's the point of this edit by 207.236.151.102? I don't think it needs to be there, or at the very least re-worded to eliminate this attempt to disqualify the act. ccwaters 19:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I just reverted it on POV. The poster might consider the feat "questionable," but Coleman doesn't breathe a word of it and that's the only major contemporary source at hand. In any event, given that Toronto racked up 9-3 and 3-0 wins in their comeback, it may have been that Scotty Bowman, Toe Blake, Punch Imlach and Herb Brooks put together couldn't have saved Detroit. RGTraynor 20:06, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Losing a coach is a major blow to any team's morale, and thus is relevant information. In Mike Leonetti's book "Maple Leaf Legends" this fact is very clearly stated. 207.236.151.102 19:29, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, the phrase "the accomplishment is questionable" was what I didn't like. Its not Toronto's problem if the opposing team's coach got suspended, or were you trying to imply something? Really, I don't know the circumstances, nor do I really care for either team in question. I'm just trying to keep it objective and it certainally is not "questionable" that they came back after a 3 game deficit. This time around, your wording is slightly different. I'll let it pass, but I can't guarantee others will feel the same. ccwaters 20:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

It is not a fact. It is a surmise, which is a very different thing. Mr. Leonetti may be speculating or editorializing, which is his privilege, but to satisfy POV we need some measure of factual, contemporary sources, not one man's presumptions. What is his cite for it? RGTraynor 21:02, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Top Prospects?

What is the criteria for a player to be considered a prospect?

What decides that one prospect is better than another?

Isn't this a little subjective?

-- Theycallmemorty 13:04, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Very much so, and it is seldom (if anywhere) found on any other NHL team page. I'm quite comfy with it being deleted here. RGTraynor 13:36, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
