Happy Birthday, Esa Tikkanen! The man whose legendary chirping skills were almost as sharp as his slapshot. Whether it was your clutch playoff goals or the infamous "Tikkanese" trash talk that left opponents baffled and teammates laughing, you've always been hockey's ultimate entertainer.From Edmonton to New York—and everywhere in between—you've skated circles around rivals while collecting Stanley Cup rings like they're trading cards. Your relentless hustle on ice made you a fan favorite wherever you played; off-ice antics ensured you'd never be forgotten. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and fewer penalties than usual!
