Blake To Sit

A surprise move by the Leafs will see forward Jason Blake in the press box, instead of the fourth line, where he was rumoured to end up only days ago. Coach Ron Wilson has been publicly disappointed with his veteran forwards and Blake has been the focal point of much of the public dismay.

This season, Blake has 3 points (1G, 2A) in 6 games with the Leafs this year. The team hasn't been very productive as a whole, but there is a lot of pressure put on the scoring veterans of the club to lead by example. Blake's benching will hopefully spark the team and help them get past the Bruins tonight, but it won't help his fantasy value tonight for Dennis in the Draft.

Could trade rumours be on the horizon?
