That's not taking anything away from Backs, but I think Horak is that good. If Horak can develop his shot a bit, then watch out.

One thing I liked from Horak last night that probably wasn't shown on TV was he was skating up to Baertschi and Cammy and other linemates during the TV timeouts and having chats with them and pointing at various places around the ice. It looked like he was trying get things set up for the next faceoff every timeout that he was on the ice. Bit surprised to see one of the juniors on the team taking that sort of initiative. Or anyone on the Flames taking that initiative.
