The difference with that team though is they were truly a one line team with little to nothing else going for them. This team, so far at least, has the defensive structure and goaltending and gets contributions throughout the lineup. I’d bet that it’s far more likely for the success of this team to continue than it was for the 01 Flames.
Not saying that we will keep this up all season but IMO this team is better positioned to do so than some other teams that have had hot starts to the year and then faceplant shortly after.

While I agree hat they gave defensive structure and goaltending, and they mat take them to the playoffs, they have contributions throughout the lineup?
Their 3 best forwards are on pace for about 40 points. I’d take the 1 line team led by Iggy than the current no line team, offensively talking.
