Happy Birthday, Brian Rafalski! Your legendary defensive prowess left opponents looking more lost than a rookie skating backwards. From lifting the Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils in 2000 to conquering again alongside the Detroit Red Wings in 2008, you've proven that defense truly does win championships—twice!On top of your impressive plus/minus of +178 and dazzling appearances like the 2003-04 All-Star Game, your career stats (515 points!) remain testament to skill on both ends of the ice. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer penalties and more cake—just don't block anyone out from seconds!
