I'd say over the past 10 games or so, it's been the latter. He's just had the worst luck. The goalies always seem to come up huge when he decides to shoot the puck. He's doing a good job playing with Reinhart though.
Basically his job is to work the boards (which is his biggest strength IMO) and go to the front of the net and screen the goalie. Reinhart and the other linemate will do the rest.

When he was with Windsor, his biggest downfall from what I saw was his skating.( I recall Tod Button saying that the Flames had had their power skating coach check Nemisz out, and that the coach said his skating could be worked with.) But he seemed to have good hands.
Windsor was on tv a lot in those days, with Hall, Fowler, etc., and I'm sure Greg's stats benefited from his teammates, but other than skating, the rest of his game, seemed fine. Will/Can his skating improve enough to be a regular in the NHL?
