Brock Faber, on the other hand, sometimes brings them up himself.Faber has a goal and 12 points, and is among the team’s leaders with a plus-7 despite consistently playing against opponents’ top scoring lines. In what has been a disappointing season so far, his storyline is a major positive.So, on the heels of playing a career-high 30 minutes, 8 seconds in Thursday night’s 3-2 shootout victory over Calgary at Xcel Energy Center, Faber was presented with a series of questions about how, and why, he has played so well.“I’ve had bad games,” he said. “Last night I didn’t have a great game, to be honest with you.”In what way?“I turned pucks over, I wasn’t clean on breakouts, I didn’t create much offensively,” he said. “I defended fine, (but) I have a standard for myself, that I know I can be better. It doesn’t bother me, by any means; we won, that’s all I care about.”Faber als...

Can you drive with colored headlights in Missouri?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:58:56 GMT
