Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on March 30, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Marc-Edouard Vlasic! From your NHL debut with the San Jose Sharks back in 2006–07 to bringing home Olympic gold for Canada in Sochi (2014), you've always been a defensive rock. You've blocked more shots than most goalies and made opponents wish they'd stayed on the bench.

Here's hoping this birthday is as smooth as your skating stride and filled with fewer bruises than you usually collect blocking pucks. Keep aging like fine wine—or should we say "fine pickle"?—and may every year ahead be golden, just like that shiny medal from Russia hanging proudly at home!
