Happy Birthday, Kimmo Timonen! You're the only defenseman we know who can skate circles around opponents and still have time to set franchise records. With 222 assists for Nashville Predators, you made passing look easier than blowing out birthday candles—though at your age now, maybe that's becoming a challenge too!From being selected to your first NHL All-Star team in 2000 to consistently dazzling fans with defensive brilliance, you've always been an inspiration on ice. May this year bring fewer penalties and more cake slices; after all those seasons of assisting others, it's finally time someone assisted you—with extra frosting!
