Gulutzan's best "runs" came during a stretch where Chad Johnson looked like a Vezina candidate, and then a ten game stretch when Brian Elliott played his best hockey. The irony is that those stretches were the worst underlying number stretches of Gulutzan's tenure, even though improving underlying numbers was his whole MO.

Ward’s teams had winning streaks and so did GG’s. Of course, those are dismissed because they don’t fit the narrative that the players sometimes just don’t try hard enough or execute well.
