Blake Scratched for Tonight's Game

According to the Toronto sun:

Given his play of late, Wilson said benching Blake was “a fairly simple decision” and that it was important from an integrity standpoint to show the rest of the Leafs that no one on the team is immune to being held accountable.

Thoughts?

I like it!! He has played like he doesn't care. He deserves to sit!!

When the season started, it looked like he had more hunger... but recently he just looks like the same old Blake who loses the puck and takes shots from wherever that do nothing.

Unfortunately I don't think this will help Blake. He has to change how he plays.... use his speed to get deeper into the zone (instead of stopping halfway and losing the puck) and he has to pass more.
