Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on July 22, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Sergei Zubov! You're the only guy who could defend like a fortress and score goals smoother than ice cream melting on a hot day. From your legendary Stanley Cup runs—first with the Rangers in '94, breaking their 54-year drought (talk about pressure!), to bringing glory again with Dallas in '99—you've always skated circles around opponents.

Even today, fans still marvel at how effortlessly you turned defense into offense. May your birthday be as timeless as your slapshot and filled with more joy than lifting Lord Stanley's Cup twice! Cheers to another year of skating through life gracefully!
