Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on July 25, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Evgeni Nabokov! You're the only Shark who could make opponents feel safer swimming with actual sharks than facing your glove hand. With franchise records in wins and shutouts under your belt, you turned San Jose's net into a fortress—though rumor has it some forwards still wake up sweating from nightmares of "Nabby saves."

Even though you've hung up those skates (and pads), Sharks fans will forever cherish memories like that epic 50-save playoff performance or when you casually scored an empty-net goal as if being goalie wasn't challenging enough already. Here's to another year filled with fewer pucks flying at your face—and more cake coming toward it instead!
