Nabby zings the Oilers

[dash]

Part of a KHL interview (Nabby was also with Denis Grebeshkov)

Nabokov: "It's very interesting, why does everyone always think that when you come back it's a step back?"

Reporter: I mean that the level of competition is a little different
.
Nabokov: "Let me ask you, would you want to play for the Edmonton Oilers, for example?" [laughter] "Let me tell you that when you have a choice and you have something to choose from, you always want to play for a good team, compete for medals and such. I will speak for myself, but the situation was such that I had no choice of a good team to play for and to play at the high level. To me it was very important to play for a good team, to try to win."

Nabokov talks about coming home to KHL, why league isn't 'step back' - Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

I'm confused: what was he doing playing for the Sharks then?

Ba-dum ching!

I assume he was speaking in terms of Celsius there, considering his hometown had rain at 7 degrees, and he's European.

Yes, I did have to go there.
