3 years ago if you told me Horvat would be in the fastest skater competition I would of kicked you in the groin and called you silly.

 

Ain't that the truth! 

 

I don't think he'll win but he definitely won't look out of place in the competition either.

Yeah, no one is honestly thinking he'll win or be one of the fastest, but just the fact alone he's in this competition shows how much he's improved his skating.

 

When he was drafted, his skating was touted as being his greatest liability. You can teach skating, can't teach smarts.

I'm glad he's going against Terasenko. I honestly think he has a chance to win. Terasenko is a big boy man. 225 ish I bolieve?

Tarasenko is sneakily fast, but it could just be for his weight.

 

I hope we get to see Horvat as the 4th shooter, but I could see him replaced with a goalie for fun.

Alot props to bo for going out of his way to correct this during the offseason. Kids commitment is amazing.

Unless you're Cody Hodgson.
