Happy birthday to the legendary Daniel Alfredsson—Ottawa’s favorite Swede and eternal captain! Just like your famous playoff goals, you're aging with grace—but hopefully not as quickly as your slapshot flew past startled goalies!From winning Olympic gold in 2006 with Team Sweden, grabbing the Calder Trophy in '96 to countless Senators records and an induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Alfie, you've mastered every hockey milestone possible. May this year bring fewer penalties off-ice (cake calories shouldn't count!) and more chances for you to relive epic moments without lacing up skates.
Cheers forevermore to Ottawa's timeless hero!
