Price hasn't been that great for a few seasons at least.
I think this does show that any team can get hot at the right time and make some noise. And it just might be attributable to some decent puck luck.

Montreal hasn’t been great. They’re still not great, but they have Price.
Carey Price, when healthy, is one of the three best goalies on earth. He’s made the playoffs 5 of the last 8 years, played 10+ games four of those times (including this year), and doesn’t have a save percentage under .919 or a GAA above 2.40.
It’s the Sabres with Hasek vs the Sabres Without (though Price is no Hasek)
