If I could add to that, I was shocked by his physical play. He got into it with someone right on the glass close to where I was and ended up with him getting a stick to the head and just shook it off and went after the guy more.
One HUGE thing I noticed though was Horak seemed to be stepping up as a leader with Group A. One of the firsts on the ice for warm-ups, he was being extremely vocal giving the guys directions and getting them set up and he was running the final drill at the end of warm-ups.
While his game itself wasn't one of his better ones for looking flashy, he seems to be stepping up in other ways and just rounding himself out as a player.
And holy cripes is Berra and Kanzig just towers. First goalie where the pads don't look proportional to his body. I will admit, I have some Berra love right now just on size alone.
