Current Chicago has a shot differential of 1.3 shots/game and a Corsi For % of 51.7.
07-08 Detroit had a shot differential of 10.9 shots/game and a Corsi For % of 58.7. They increased their shot differential in the playoffs to 12.9 shots/game. Just think about that for a second. They went through an entire season outshooting their opponents by a double digits average every game.
But even more, from 06-07 to 08-09 when Detroit went to two Cup Finals and three consecutive Western Conference Finals, they outshot opponents throughout those regular seasons by 9.2, 10.9, and 8.5 shots per game. That's a 3 year stretch of outshooting opponents of 9.5 shots per game. That's insane. Prime Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg with Babcock behind the reigns dominated possession in to a different level.
