What did Luke prove in Bingo exactly to make people think he is a very good coach?
Bingo was 50% team last season once NHL season had started and was swept in the first round despite having home ice advantage.
"Starling":
On Coach Luke as I remember Ottawa was fighting for a playoff spot. When the NHL season started up again it was a dog fight for them. Anderson was injured + they kept having other players go out injured, Ottawa kept calling players up some games they had 6 players or so out. With each call up Binghamton kept getting weaker, and weaker. Also Binghamton had no real AHL back up in goal that hurt them down the stretch. Through it all Coach Luke had his players busting their rears but, effort can only go so far the team gave it's all. I was proud of them......................
For the playoffs the Pens made moves to add to their lineup. Before the playoffs started I knew Binghamton would be gone after 3 games as I called it, Sens just did Not have that much firepower left, in each game the Pens took the lead and then they cut the rink in half and the Sens just could not score. They lost all 3 playoff games by 1 goal I was amazed the games were that close...
That is why Binghamton faltered down the stretch last year. Coach Luke did a Hell of a job down here as players developed and they busted their rears for Coach Luke.....
So now you know..............................
