As for the Pens they look inconsistent and generally bad this year so far. Based on that they are in tough to challenge for the Cup although you never count them out given their history.

There are plenty of metrics to gauge consistency. Consistency in various advanced stats generally indicates if, notwithstanding individual game results, the team is playing a consistent brand of hockey. Not having long losing streaks (the Flames don't).
I just don't see the highs and lows like some here. Are they as good as the Blue, or Lightning? Nope. Are they as talented top to bottom? Nope. Are they as consistent? Maybe not, but I think they are as consistent as most teams and more than a lot.
What's not consistent is some of the arguments here: "Sure the Flames have a decent record and are in a PO spot, but they don't play consistent hockey". "The top teams are obviously consistent because - look at their record".
