Another article mentioned that Kuzmenko had difficulty adapting from an east-west style of play to a more north-south style of play demanded by Tocchet. That resulted in a lot of frustration from Tocchet, multiple benching and even a healthy scratch. I knew Kuzmenko was in the dog house, but I didn't realize he was healthy scratched under Tocchet. |
