Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on July 30, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Markus Naslund! Another year older, but still skating circles around the rest of us. From your dazzling goals to those five All-Star appearances, you've always made hockey look easy—though we're pretty sure it's not supposed to be that effortless!

Thanks for leading the Canucks through thrilling playoff runs and giving fans countless reasons to cheer (and occasionally spill their popcorn). May your birthday celebrations be as legendary as your wrist shot—and may you never lose that MVP charm. Here's hoping this year brings fewer penalties and more hat tricks in life! Keep scoring big, Markus!
