The lack of anything resembling a system is painful to watch at times. Lindy and now Groan literally offer nothing on that front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s a better skater than this. He might be hitting a bit of a wall himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It’s going to be up to the talent and Allen likely having to stand on his head. Seems to be the formula for winning games under Groan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be hitting a bit of a wall himself. He might be, as he’s been bad 5/7 games. He’s played professionally in Europe, but the NHL is a different league. It wouldn’t surprise if he’s a little worn down from its physicality, as I feel like the play from the other night where Austin Matthews stiff-armed him wouldn’t have happened a month ago.

He seemed completely unfazed by that in an interview, and he’s played well in games since then. The last 6-7, however, have been mostly bad, and he’s spent the bulk of that time paired with Smith, which I’m sure is contributing to his struggles. As @Nicomo pointed out, he seems a step slower than he normally is, as he’s a very good skater (though certainly not at Luke’s level), so he may be getting worn down by the rigors of the NHL schedule.

That said, Nemec didn’t seem affected by what happened when interviewed. I think he’s just been worn down by the cumulative effect of playing so many games. He came up in December—almost two months after the season began—so he’s hitting the wall at about the same point that Luke did in his season.
