Cherry just mentioned that Carey Price got his game back when he went back to the white goal pads. Coincidence?

Yes.
The psyche is a funny thing, though...

That has about the same effect as shooter thinking he’s going to score more because he tapes his stick a certain way. It’s all mental. I’ve never had an issue distinguishing a five hole, no matter what color the pads are.I suppose most people think the white pads are worn by 95 percent of goalies 'cause they look good.... but .....
Why any goalie would want to advertise their 5-hole is baffling to me.

I'd rather wear black and maybe get a few quick whistles every year because the ref lost sight of the puck.I suppose most people think the white pads are worn by 95 percent of goalies 'cause they look good.... but .....

Do you want to go into the details on this on this? This should not be taken to have a snarky tone.
It is very similar to tape color or scouts telling players white holders/laces make you appear faster. White is a cleaner look and the choose this for esthetic purposes.
There's a reason why butterfly/hybrid goaltending completely took over from older methods. It's objectively better.
Goaltenders and teams aren't stupid. If pad coloring was an actual advantage, everybody would be using the same color without a second's hesitation. If anything, pad coloring of any type is probably a mental edge kind of thing varying from goalie to goalie.
So much psychology in hockey equipment. So much.
