Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on April 21, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Alex Edler! From your rookie days in 2003 with the Vancouver Canucks to becoming one of Sweden's finest NHL defensemen, you've skated circles around Father Time. Remember that epic run in 2011 when you helped lead the Canucks all the way to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals? We sure do—your slapshots still echo through Rogers Arena!

Now as you continue defending blue lines and defying age limits, we wish you another year filled with fewer penalties and more highlight-reel moments. Keep making us laugh at forwards who think they can sneak past "Eagle" Edler!
