If its impossible then youve lost before you have even started. Thats not to say they arent the best 1-2 in the game but from what i watched they did pretty much what they wanted and other then Demko shutting the door no one really took any chances away from them. A 36-64 FO% doesn't really allude to carrying the play as 2/3 of the time you dont start with the puck. The PK/PP was pretty much the same as last year, D looked very shaky. Im not pinning this solely on Green, and the fact Baumer is and has always been way over his head (no clue why he was kept on) but it seemed the nucks were chasing the play when the oilers had the puck. Other than lucky goal to tie the game, which is what they needed as most shots were straight at Smith, the Oil did what they had to when they had the puck.
That said its early in the season, and plenty of time to improve.
