Leino To The Doghouse?  Shocking, I Know.

I’m too lazy to find it. But somewhere I predicted we’d see this. Detroit News Mike Babcock redrew the lines, starting by benching slumping Ville Leino for tonight’s game against the Flames. “Ville’s having a day to watch,” Babcock said. “He’s not playing hard enough here, so he’s going to watch and the other guys are going to play.” Leino has one point in his last seven games. “He’s getting snuffed out, not involved,” Babcock said. “If you are a scorer and you are not going to the net, you’re going to be in for a long year.”
