Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on April 04, 1979)

Happy Birthday, Roberto Luongo! The goalie who made stopping pucks look easier than pronouncing his last name. From your early days with the Islanders and Panthers to becoming Vancouver's favorite wall in 2006, you've given fans countless reasons to cheer—and opposing forwards plenty of headaches.

Who could forget that epic run in 2011 when you led the Canucks all the way to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals? Sure, lifting Lord Stanley didn't quite happen—but hey, at least you're still undefeated against birthday candles. Here's hoping this year brings fewer slapshots and more cake slices—cheers, Louie!
