Sick of the narrative that Elliott and Johnson saved the season. If they just played average hockey from the get go it wouldn't have needed saving. And then Elliott basically threw the season away with his round 1 performance, after two decent months.

I'm not disagreeing with the overall sentiment, but to be fair to the goaltenders, at the very start the season we were losing games by 2-4 goals. With better goaltending we would likely have lost them by 1-2 goals.
I also think Johnsons and Elliotts numbers don't do justice to Johnson, as Johnson played most of his games in the first half of the season, when the team overall was playing much worse than when Elliott had the net. I think if Johnson had been the starter for the whole season, he would likely have had numbers somewhere around the league average.
