How would Greece leave the Eurozone? By force? There is no mechanism in place for a country to be kicked out of the Eurozone. By referendum? The overwhelming majority of Greeks want to stay in the Eurozone. How exactly?
Germany's government has made this a legitimate threat simply by having Schauble and Merkel repeat it daily until everyone accepts it as fact. The truth is, if Greece leaves (because a country cannot be kicked out), the rest will eventually leave one by one and the currency will fall apart.
Merkel knows this very well, but won't admit to it openly so as to hold onto her power projection capabilities in European politics. She knows that if pro-bailout parties do not govern after the elections in Greece on June 17th, she is toast. She lost her ally in Sarkozy, and is desperate to gain one back in Hollande.
The Greek media blasted SYRIZA (left-wing anti-bailout party) leader Alexis Tsipras for stating this, but he is calling Merkel's bluff and doing it very well.
