He's been quite good — not perfect — this year. Leading team in ATOI and blocks.
Solid start both ends of ice and all situations.
Kudos to Faulk

Re: Kudos to Faulk
By far, he's been the most visible and difference-making defenseman on the team this season. And for the first time in years, that's not a negative assessment. I don't know if it's health or what, but this year's Faulk is the one you always hope to see.
Hopefully he keeps it up all season.
Re: Kudos to Faulk
Wait what?! Are you claiming Broberg is having a bad year so far?? If so I’d suggest watching the games. If you are watching then you need to watch closer.
Broberg has been the Blues best defender this season and one of the best story lines in a disappointing start to this season for the Blues.
I’ll give Faulk credit for improving from complete (bleep) of the previous THREE seasons but I’m not going to pretend the guy is a steady/solid top 4 + 1PP guy. Right now he’s a weak 4, strong 5 defender still making way too much.

He's weak and easy to play against.

No "nagging injury"...it's his T-Rex arms + his low hockey IQ = bad comboTheJackBurton wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 16:43 pmYep, absolutely. Likely dealing with a nagging injury because he looks better all around than he has in a while.

Re: Kudos to Faulk
He’s a +30 since joining the Blues. He is often paired with the “leftover” defenseman and it’s a good bet that he was injured for a large part of the season (at least it seemed that way to me and a few others on the forum). I have no problem with Broberg but to trash Faulk is kinda moronic.stlblue06 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2025 14:44 pmWait what?! Are you claiming Broberg is having a bad year so far??
