EVGENI NABOKOV - and the 82 Game Quest.

As some of our west coast fans know, Evgeni Nabokov currently sits at 40 games. Personally I think it would be incredible for a goalie in today's game to play a full season, brings back memories of old time hockey and 1 goalie per team. With stats like 40 games played, 20-12 , 5 shutouts, with a 2.02 GAA, he is doing a phenomenal job between the pipes for the sharks. The Problem I have however is the Sharks are perennial playoff losers. regardless of how impressive playing a full season is you have to raise the issue of health concerns. Nothing compares with winning the Stanley Cup, and if the Sharks were smart they would worry more about their playoff inconsistency than personal records.
