He couldn't be more different from Disco. Even with his worst line decisions he still manages to do better than Dan would. Dan would never ever have turned Sheary and Rust into the players they are.
If we still had Dan he'd probably have Eric Fehr on Sid's wing or something.
Ya, there is no way Murray would be playing over MAF under DB. Kunitz would never sniff the fourth line, and Guenztel would have to "earn his stripes" before he ever sniffed time with Malkin.
Anyway, I'm glad justice was done and Guenztel got awarded a delayed point on Malkin's goal. Even though he was given the point for just tipping it around the horn to Malkin, he was the one who chased down a Cane with big time hustle and stripped him just before the blueline and Malkin grabbed the puck and kept it in.
He was also robbed of an assist on the Horny goal that was called back, and he's the one who peeled off the boards on the first goal and quickly closed on the Cane's blueliner and forced the turnover to Daley.
So it's nice to see him get rewarded with at least a point for his efforts last night.
His speed and IQ are a huge boon to Malkin's line, even if they have no chemistry yet.
