Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on September 19, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Rick DiPietro! May your day be filled with fewer pucks flying at you than during your legendary Islanders days. We still fondly recall that epic 2006-07 season when you stood tall between the pipes, earning an All-Star nod and making saves look easier than tying skates.

Though you've hung up the pads, your legacy remains timeless—much like that infamous 15-year contract. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as a shutout victory and fewer surprises than a sudden shootout. Cheers to another year of laughter, great memories, and no more goalie mask tan lines!
