HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Happy 34th Birthday to The King!!!

[*Bob Richards*]

Odd. I thought Christmas was in December

Ugh, he's 34 today. No spring chicken, but...

31-16-4 .924 2.28 not too shabby

It seems like just yesterday he was this 23 year old kid from Sweden that burst onto the scene and made everyone forget about Mike Dunham and Guy Hebert.

Hank-meister!

I still remember watching his first game and being like "who the heck is this guy?!?"

More like 'get a load of this ****ing guy! He a ****in crab or something???'

2 hours later (on phone with Dad in Florida)'..you don't understand, this guy is the best ****ing goalie I've ever ****ing seen!'

10 years later and every year in between, this guy is the best I've ever seen.

Happy Birthday to the King, with all love, respect, and gratitude for all he has done for us since 2005.

Yeah, I meant it in a good way! I was only 15 when he debuted and didn't follow prospects or anything like that, so I didn't even know who he was. And I'm a goalie too, so I'm sitting there just like wow this guy is amazing.

Time flies much to fast. Happy birthday.

But he was just 25 a few days ago....

The only thing I have in common with Henrik Lundqvist is that at the same age, we both still have a beautiful full head of hair. I'll take it.

Wish I could say the same.

Hard to believe he's 34.

I think there were more than a few of us who thought he was a legit blue chip prospect, but I certainly can't claim that I thought he'd be an all-time great.

He looked good his 1st camp but I never envisioned this...by the way tough watching this guy leave it all out there every night, he's the only one who plays 60 minutes

The fact he isn't in the mix for the Hart every year proves the voters are a pile of ignorant stat watchers.
