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.

This is a good stretch no doubt, personally, I just want to see a more protracted timeline of this, because we bit on a good stretch last year too. We're not going to win every game, and we're going to have duds, but as you allude to this team has been pretty up and down.
I just wish people would chill with the "where are the coach doubters?" style posts. That's all. People who don't like the coach aren't doing so with zero reasoning.
