Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on August 17, 1980)

Happy birthday, David Legwand! You're the Predators' original superstar—the guy who practically defined Nashville hockey. With more games played, goals zapped into nets, assists slipped past opponents and points stacked neatly onto franchise records than anyone else—it’s safe to say Music City tuned its song around your ice magic.

While your gear eventually migrated back home with that stint in Detroit (because everyone secretly wants a Motown groove), Nashville fans haven’t stopped reminiscing about all those game-winning thrills you provided over the years. Today we raise our sticks—and celebratory BBQ sandwiches—to one amazing career. Cheers to continued success off the rink!
