For me, a tree has leaves, but a salad has leafs. The Toronto Maple Leafs team individual players are Maple Leafs. I am confident in (mis)using grammar in this way but wondering if other people do it too?

Oh that’s a good point, in verb form it could also be leafs (“she leafs through the pages”)
So leaves is a noun and leafs is a verb? So what is it that the Toronto Maple leafs thru? A book? A fat wad of cash, maybe?
they leaf it all in the rink
Who’s “they” in this context? The Toronto Maple sounds like a single tree.
it’s
That’s what I was missing!! Thanks :D
