This is probably what it was like for other teams to play the Gulutzan Flames when they were at the pinnacle of their corsi game.
Not fun to play against because they had the puck for a good portion of the game but couldn't manage much of any kind of dangerous chances on net, and for the most part nothing that a positionally sound goalie wouldn't stop. Even if the possession game seemed impressive from afar, they never really scared you with the puck in your zone.
On the flip side if you catch them in transition with speed you can make them pay by driving the net with only a handful of opportunities.
