Consistency only seems to be a huge topic of conversation for average to poor teams. Good and great teams have off nights just as often as the bottom feeders- the difference being that good teams are often able to pull off a win on those off nights- the Chicago win against Calgary is a good example.
When coaches ask for consistency, they are basically asking their players to play at 100% every night. No team can achieve this imo, but a 60% effort is often enough for the Chicagos of the league.
