It's clear from that we need someone to bring in consistency. Probably a coach that preaches work ethic and not getting too high or low (which lends to streakiness), along with the quick transition game that these guys have thrived on in the past. Something resembling the approach Gallant is taking in Vegas.

I dunno how much Kerr's point really holds. Its the elite teams that enjoy only winning streaks. Flames haven't been elite. Well duh.
How do we get from here to elite? Give us some more goals via better goal scoring depth. Fix the PP. Tweak the player usage a bit. Suddenly most of our streaks will be winning streaks.
I don't think streakiness in itself is some sort of stand alone issue. Streakiness is much like our record in the standings, it just tells our how good or bad the team was. Good teams have less losing streaks and more winning streaks. Almost all teams are somewhat streaky.
I've heard Kerr mention this a bunch lately but it doesn't really resonate with me.
