I think that most teams in the NHL appear to be inconsistent, not because their performance varies so widely - just because of league parity. The talent pool is spread more evenly - so you have few teams that are distinctly better than their opponents.There's a big glut of good teams that also have flaws. There's a couple more complete teams and a couple really bad teams. And then a big squishy middle of sameness

But I would also say that the team has been playing consistently well for the last dozen or so games. I don't view this season as being much of a roller coaster at all to be honest.Are the Flames more or less consistent than the bulk of other NHL teams? Feels like they are a pretty typical NHL squad.

Last season was a roller coaster to be sure, with a terrible start and then an extended hot streak required to make it to the post-season. That is not what you want to see. But I don't think that is what we are seeing this year.
