"Ultimately, there's a lot of frustration with not getting in," Faulk said of how things finished for Detroit. "It's hard, it's hard to get in the playoffs, and it's a hard stretch to go through. Mentally, like I said, it's frustrating right now. It's something that's a goal along the way, I think the ultimate goal is to try and win a Stanley Cup."
"There's a lot of processing and steps before that, but you have to get in the playoffs to give yourself a chance," Faulk continued. "I think we all know in this League that if anyone gets in, there's a chance. There are upsets every year, teams go on runs. You've gotta get your foot in the door, but where we're sitting, it's not a great feeling."
As for his transition to the Red Wings, Faulk had already heard plenty about the organization from players who experienced both sides of what was once a heated Western Conference rivalry. It also helped that his former Blues teammate, David Perron, was back in the fold to make the adjustment smoother.
"Yeah, ultimately, I thought it went pretty well," Faulk said of the transition to Detroit from St. Louis. "I've said this a little bit I think, but I played with David Perron in St. Louis, and I had some other guys that we made a few trades over the years back and forth. We got Nick Leddy, I think (Ville) Husso ended up here, and Oskar Sundqvist and whatnot. So, I've known plenty of guys who have had a lot of familiarity with this organization, so nothing was really too unknown to me."
"Obviously, there's a lot of getting to know people and feeling it out, but the organization as a whole, those guys have filled me in, and David Perron made life a lot easier for me," Faulk continued. "Showed me how to get around town, all the little things outside the rink that get unnoticed, and you get into a flow when you're in a situation for a while.
The transition was pretty smooth."
Faulk, who has tallied a total of 146 goals with 352 assists across 1,058 career games played with the Carolina Hurricanes, Blues, and Red Wings, is signed through the end of next season.
