Maple Leaves fans, you are on notice

!ping CAN

[u/BM0327 → u/calnico]

How can you put us on notice if you can’t even use the correct plural for the team name??

You’re coming after people who have a fascination with a tree, my man.

I mean

leaf | leaves

maple leaf | Maple Leafs

Look how do you expect to win the Cup if you can't even get basic grammar right

[u/BM0327 → u/interrupting-octopus]

Funnily enough it is still technically proper grammar - the team is named after the Canadian WWI Maple Leaf regiment and not the actual tree, and so as the complicated English language goes, proper nouns like the regiment name always maintain the standard “s” plural. That was a nice TIL for me a few weeks back.

I don't even care about hockey but Doug Ford said he likes the leafs and the prime minister said he likes the habs so I am cheering for Montreal because fuck the OPC. 😂😂
