In a recent match between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild, Sidney Crosby's hit on rookie defenseman Brock Faber spadked controversy, raising questions about a possible suspension.
During the close game, Sidney Crosby's aggressive play against Brock Faber, a promising rookie for the Wild, caught attention. Crosby was seen wrapping his hands around Faber's head, with his stick making contact with Faber's face, a move that surprisingly avoided penalty calls, suggesting possible preferential treatment by the officials.
Despite the controversy, the Minnesota Wild locked down a 3-2 victory over the Penguins, with Faber being a key part of it.
Entering the season, Connor Bedard was the anticipated favorite for the Calder Trophy. However, Brock Faber's high-end performance has sparked debates about the rookie of the year.
Faber's significant ice time and productivity, especially as a defenseman, place him among the top rookies and present him as a strong contender against Bedard for the award.
