Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on January 30, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Barnes! Sure, your NHL career was shorter than a Zamboni ride—two games with the Detroit Red Wings—but hey, that's two more NHL appearances than most of us couch potatoes will ever have. Drafted in 1998's second round? Clearly ahead of your time; scouts are still debating how they missed out on such untapped potential.

But seriously though: legends aren't measured by ice-time alone. Your brief stint made you unforgettable (at least to trivia buffs and die-hard fans). Here's hoping this birthday scores higher points for fun and celebration than those elusive stats sheets did back then!
