How bad did the Canadiens outplay the Sabres that period? Let us count the ways.

Shots were 15-1. A 93.76% share for the Habs.

Fenwick (shots + missed shots) was 21-3. An 87.5% share for the Habs.

Corsi (shots + missed shots + blocked shots) was 30-4. An 88.2% share for the Habs,

That was some primo dominance. Unbelievable that it’s only a 1-0 lead to be honest. Hopefully we’ll see more of the same, but Ruff will have them pushing back.
