One of the best sharks ever... and the Richards save like said above wow just wow... even though we lost the game and the series the best and most intense game I have ever seen...

Thanks for the memories nabby...

Thanks for the memories Nabby!

Was a big fan of him in San Jose, and was thrilled when the Islanders finally got him to suit up.

He'll be missed for sure. Would love to see him in a coaching position with either the Sharks or Islanders.

The young guys over here on LI love Nabby.

 

[The Macho King]

Happy trails. Sorry it didn't work out.

 

[RiceCooker]

I was a big fan of Nabby when he played for the Sharks....Congrats to him on an excellent career.

 

[thegoldenyear]

Thanks for '13, Nabby.
I think Fischler misses him.

Great goalie. One of my favorite goalies in the 2000's. Fun goalie to watch and had a great career.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Another good goalie's career comes to an end. Well played for the last 20 years, Nabby!

 

[RadekBong]

Same here. The first thing that comes to mind about him is that save. Just amazing watching it now, it must have been even crazier watching it live.

That game is one that stands out in my mind to this day as one of the best,and I'm a fan of neither team.

Agreed. One of the best games I've ever seen and I also had no emotional attachment to either team.

That save though...with the context and the save itself...probably the best save ever.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Man, I remember when I started watching hockey, he was in net for the Sharks. He was part of why I love the team. All the best to him.

And thanks for the memories Nabby

SOme great seasons with the Sharks sadly never got that Cup.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Unbelievable goalie in his prime. Enjoy your future endeavors Nabby!

 

[mcleex]

Too bad he never won a cup with SJ. Great career tho

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wish him all the best in retirement. Happy to see that he's retiring a Shark.

 

[Voight]

One of my favourite goalies during his years as a Shark, even got a street hockey mask that looked just like his. And I hate the Sharks lol.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Love that he retires a shark. Man time flies. One of my favorite goalies. Hope he stays around the game.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Love that he retires a shark. Man time flies. One of my favorite goalies. Hope he stays around the game.

Would he sign with the KHL or the NHL as a coaching staff or an administrative staff? I'd personally love that to happen.

his family stayed in sj after he got traded and still lives there, and at the press announcement he stated all he knows is hockey which might allude to a job somewhere in hockey but when asked where hes going next he said its too early for him to know or something like that. but I saw his eyes glance towards doug Wilson when asked this so I have a feeling he'll be a goalie coach in sj.

He could do something like that, Tretriak did the same thing after he retired.
