Hartley brought up consistency last night, this morning Peter Maher remarked on how he keeps hearing the same thing from coach after coach in Calgary.

So my question ....

Are the Flames more inconsistent than most? They've rolled over a good percentage of the roster since Keenan was here so can it be the same team issue year to year and coach to coach?

Or ...

Do all teams on the bubble (9-12th every season) get similar things said about them by their coaches and in their markets? Good enough to be in the mix, but not on a consistent basis to make the playoffs?

I've never thought the "core" in Calgary was a good leadership group, but it's changed so much over the years that I'm not sure that's still relevant?

Personally I think it's just part of being a "tweener" team in a hockey market. Thoughts?
