I don't think that is necessarily true. You need consistently solid goaltending that steals at least as many games as it loses for you.
Were (m)any of the PIT/CHI goalie performances particularly elite? Or just 'good enough'?

Niemi is a good counterexample, but Crawford put up a .932 and a .924 in the cup years, Matt Murray had a .923 and a .937 and Fleury had a .924 in 2017 when he split time with Murray.
Murray and Crawford are good examples of goalies that aren't necessarily elite overall, but did have elite playoff performances.
