Gully probably figured Johnny didn't need a deep chat since he was playing good, not great. Probably figured he give him some space to figure it out.

Nothing wrong with Gully's method there IMO.

On the flip side, if you have an 'in-depth' chat with a player during every single one of his slumps, the player may tune you out.
I would have met Gaudreau at the airport with an erasable hockey clipboard highlighting some of the key points to the "system" being implemented. But, I'm not an NHL coach.
