Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on February 09, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Chris "Knuckles" Nilan! May your special day be filled with fewer punches and more cake slices. Your legendary gloves-off moments on the ice for Montreal, New York, and Boston still echo in hockey arenas everywhere—proof that sometimes diplomacy is best served cold (and occasionally toothless).

From hoisting the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens to becoming one of hockey's most memorable tough guys, you've shown us all how passion and grit can carve out a timeless legacy. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as your fists brought fear—and laughter—to opponents over the years. Cheers!
