Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on May 31, 1990)

Happy Birthday, Erik Karlsson! You're skating into another year smoother than your legendary coast-to-coast rushes. From dazzling Ottawa fans and clinching the James Norris Memorial Trophy in 2012 as the NHL's top defenseman, you've always defended goals—and style—with equal flair.

May this birthday bring you more joy than a game-winning overtime goal or an epic playoff beard. Keep making hockey look effortless; after all these years on ice, you're still sharper than freshly sharpened skates—timelessly talented with hair that defies helmet laws!

Cheers to many more seasons of highlight-reel moments ahead—you truly are Sweden’s finest export since IKEA meatballs!
