Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 02, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Sami Salo! You're the only NHL player whose slapshot was officially classified as a weapon of mass destruction. From your early days with Ottawa to those unforgettable years in Vancouver (1998-2012), goalies still flinch at the mere mention of your name.

Your booming shot and fearless defense made you legendary—though rumor has it that pucks around Tampa Bay are still hiding from you since 2012. May this birthday bring fewer blocked shots and more cake slices than penalty minutes. Cheers to a Finnish legend who always knew how to light up arenas—and occasionally shatter glass!
