So it's safe to say that Larry Brooks won't be attending his retirement party?

 

[izzy]

Good on him

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

I love you Danny B

 

[Satastic]

One of my favorite Dmen while he was a shark. He took our team to the next level and will go down as one of the best Dmen in sharks history

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

the greatest NHL career of any Miami Redhawk

 

[slocal]

Great career, Boyler!

Hope he gets a gig with the org.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Be nice to see with work with defensemen like they have Nabby back with the goalies and Ricci with forwards. Would like to see Jeremy Roy work with him, for example.

 

[Eye of Ra]

He was awesome in SHL that 2004 lockout season.

 

[weastern bias]

Love Boyle, happy to see him retire with the Sharks org

 

[SenzZen]

Wow, Boyle's a goof.

For actually confronting someone that casts judgement from behind a computer screen? Or for an excellent NHL career?

Best of luck in retirement, Boyler!

Another retiree who's an alumni from the 04 Tampa cup team. Why isn't he retiring with the Bolts?

He'll be too busy writing about Girardi's incredible bounceback season.

 

[Nickmo82]

Probably two years too late.

He played 6 seasons for each team and the most recent was the Sharks. Maybe because the Sharks offered him a job and the Bolts didn't?

Was a hard working guy that had a great career even though he was never drafted.

From what I remember, Boyle didn't take the trade from Tampa to San Jose very well. I can't say I blame him, as he had just signed a long-term deal with the Lightning less than six months before being asked to waive his no-trade clause. So, that might have something to do with retiring with the Sharks as opposed to the Lightning.

I wish he never played for the Rangers/got traded to the Islanders and didn't sign here. He was one of my favorite defensemen in the NHL up until that point.

I'll probably forget about all of that at some point and remember how great he was for the Sharks. I remember how much Sharks fans were upset that Brian Campbell didn't re-sign with them, then Wilson trades for Boyle, and he's even better than they could have dreamed of. He was in an awful situation in Tampa Bay, and became the happiest person ever by going to San Jose, even if he went reluctantly. The Sharks became my second favorite team in 2008 right around when they got Brian Campbell, but when they got Boyle they became so much better.

Even if I'm not a Tampa fan, He'll always be a Lightnings guy to me.

It wasn't as much being asked to waive his ntc, more being told to waive or get put on waivers and claimed by Atlanta.

True story.

Why what did he do off the ice?
