[edit] Roster Incorrect.

The Current Listing of the Toronto Maple Leafs roster is incorrect. It is missing Jiri Tlusty #11 upon first glance. Also other players are missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlustygirl11 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

He's on the marlies for the playoffs http://www.torontomarlies.com/news/News.asp?story_id=715 ccwaters (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Red Sox Nation

I don't think this comparison is necessary unless there's proof that Leafs Nation is based on Red Sox Nation. If we list this, we may as well list off all other fanbases with similar names ("Sens Army" comes to mind).-Wafulz (talk) 13:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, the Red Sox Nation article states that the term first came into use in 1986. I'm pretty sure Leafs nation was first used way after 86. Also, in the Hockey Night in Canada article, it lists shows with similar names (like NBC's Football Night in America. Richiekim (talk) 13:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I mean we need a reliable source that says "'Leafs Nation' is derived from 'Sox Nation'" or something like that. The HNIC article only has one such assertion (for Football Night in America).-Wafulz (talk) 13:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Leafs

The comment about spelling is incorrect. The plural form "dwarves" was created accidentally by J R R Tolkien when he wrote "The Hobbit", and he was embarrassed when someone asked him about it after publication, since he was perhaps the leading scholar of his day on the history of the English language. Tolkien stuck with it for his later publications, as the correct form in his imagined world, but it has no historical justification in ours. This is totally off on a tangent for the Maple Leafs article of course. The relevant point is that the reason for the spelling Leafs remains an open question, and I actually had come to this article to see what the answer was! —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeBrennan (talk • contribs) 20:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New head coach

Ron Wilson is going to become the Maple Leafs new head coach.--Bending Unit (talk) 14:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)Bending Unit
