Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on July 18, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Dennis Seidenberg! You're the only guy we know who can defend a puck better than most people defend their dessert. From hoisting the Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011 to skating proudly for Germany at three Olympic Games (2002, 2006, and 2010), you've always been rock-solid on ice—though rumor has it you're slightly less graceful off skates.

Here's hoping your birthday is as legendary as your defensive skills and that you celebrate harder than Bruins fans did after Game 7. Cheers to another year of blocking shots—and maybe fewer bruises this time around!
