Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on September 03, 1987)

Happy Birthday to the legendary James Neal—master of precision slap shots and sneaky line changes! Ever since you first dazzled fans in that unforgettable 2011 NHL All-Star debut, you've delivered more highlights than Crosby dishes assists. Let's face it: anyone who thrives skating next to Sidney without accidentally tripping him deserves a lifetime achievement award!

From Pittsburgh's pulse-racing playoff moments to making goalies wish they stayed home, your epic career packs firepower like no other Canadian winger named Neal we know. Here's hoping this year brings fewer penalty box visits and endless scoreboard celebrations—you've certainly earned them all!
