Sports just have a way of bringing people together and that is especially true when you are playing alongside fellow competitors on a team, like in the sport of hockey for example.
Case in point, Minnesota Wild rookie defenseman Brock Faber appears to have quickly integrated himself into the Wild locker room given some of the rather hilarious comments he made about one of his notoriously tough teammates on Saturday.
Faber, who has only played 2 games thus far as a member of the Wild, was asked what it was like to play alongside National Hockey League enforcer Ryan Reaves when he dropped one of the funniest quotes of the season.
“Yeah he’s not that scary though… fake tough guy,” said Faber with a giant smile, eliciting a number of laughs from the media.
Unfortunately for Faber the Wild’s big man was within earshot of his comments and quickly chirped the rookie right back.
“You better hope I re-sign here,” said Reaves, eliciting even more laughter than before.
Faber integrating himself so quickly with his new teammates is no doubt a big positive for the Wild and the humor is a great way of keeping things loose as the team heads into a tough first round playoff matchup against the Dallas Stars. Whether or not the comments might come to bite Faber in the butt later down the line, only time will tell.
