STANLEY CUP

The Montreal Canadiens completely overpowered a fading Chicago Blackhawk team, 4-0, yesterday in Chicago to assume a commanding 3-1 lead in the best of seven Stanley Cup finals.

Mark Tardiff scored the game-winner at 1:08 of the first period for the Canadiens and follow up goals by Yvan Cournoyer, Guy LeFleur and Claude Larose proved to be nothing more than icing on the cake.

Montreal's defense was the big difference in the game.
