Happy Birthday, Matt Duchene! From dazzling us as a rookie sensation in 2010 to skating circles around opponents at your first All-Star game with the Avalanche in 2011, you've always made hockey look easy. Seriously—do you even break a sweat out there?Whether you're scoring clutch goals or making defenders question their career choices, watching you play is like enjoying fine wine—it only gets better over time (and occasionally leaves rivals dizzy). Here's hoping this birthday brings more highlight-reel moments and fewer penalty minutes.
Cheers to another year of silky moves on ice—and keeping goalies awake at night!
