1918 - 1919
Because the Maple Leafs have been so terrible, for so long, that a mountain of crap has gathered on it. The amount of crap that comes when you put on the sweater for the Maple Leafs has eventually piled up to that level.
I have been on the leafs waiting list for 3 years and a friend of mine his father has been on it for about 12 years.

Long story...okay, so ages ago some native american's used maple syrup and placed it at the bottom of a tree. it sprouted and when food was scarce they began to eat the leaves. they looked like maple syrup, but didn't taste too good. So yeah. The seeds spread.Welcome :)
There is no long form of maple. A maple is a tree.
Toronto's NHL team was originally known as the Arenas and later the St. Pats. The name Maple Leafs was adopted in 1927, and I am told it was named after the Maple Leaf Regiment that fought in World War I. Of course, for those readers outside the Great White North, you'll recognize that the Maple Leaf is a well-known symbol for Canada, so it's quite appropriate. ------- To actually answer the question: Toronto has always been a blue/white city. I'm not sure where it originated but it long predates not only the Toronto Arenas (original name of the Maple Leafs) but also the Toronto Blueshirts of the NHA. If you notice the Argonauts along with the Blue Jays also follow the Blue/White pattern. The most commonly held belief is Smythe got the colour scheme from the University Of Toronto Varsity Blues, where he had been captain of the ice hockey team in 1915. Where UofT got theirs from, I don't know.
Yes as long as they don't have any chemicals on them and have not been in contact with meat.
I Would have to say yes to this very good question, These two teams have quite a long history between each other. If you have seen a Leaf game on Leafs TV, against the Boston Bruins, you will see a preview before the game including highlights of big hits, goals and fights. Leafs TV usually shows these types of things before a game when the Leafs re facing a rival team.

The longest Stanley Cup drought belongs to the Toronto Maple Leafs who haven't won since 1967. The next year the St Louis Blues and the LA Kings joined the NHL (never won) with 4 other teams who have since won the Cup (Flyers, Penguins, and the North Stars/Seals eventually merged and won as the Dallas Stars).
