The only person who (sort of) redeems that list is Grant Fuhr. And only because he has won the Cup.
Henrik shares her birthday with (baby-faced) Steve Mason, (Gremlin) Nathan Horton and (huh?) Chris Porter.
So, we were thinking...which NHLer do you share a birthday with?
Is it someone you like? Someone you hate? Someone you don't even know?
We like to use hockey-reference.com for everything but mostly for looking up stupid things like this.
Here's a link to the birthday searcher. It's a ton of fun.
Link.
Let us know who you share a b-day with. It can't be any worse than ours...
PS - there are a ton of NHL players born on February 14th. So if your baby is born on Valentine's Day, there's a good chance it's gonna be a hockey player.
Good for you.

I may be older than Brian Rafalski. Excuse me while I sob into my tissue that I probably have stuffed up the sleeve of my sweater because I AM OLD AS SHIT.
I have never heard of any of the players with whom I share my birthday. Geesh.
The Sedin twins, Brooks Orpik, and Chris Kunitz. Canucks and Penguins. Excuse me while I vomit.
At least I share a birthday with Olivia Newton-John. That redeems it a little.
The only player I've heard of on my birthday list is Igor Korolev :'(
But...I also share a birthday with a guy named Rolly Huard who was born in 1902 & apparently still alive.
Mine's the same as Marc-Andre Fleury, 28th November. Not sure if any other players have the same b'day :)
I will vomit if it's the same as Ovechkin's though
Mine is on the same day as John Carlson & we are even the same age - 21! :):)
Ian Cole (yay). Ryan Smyth (yay)).
Wiz (BOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSS BOOOOOOOO).
Fun site - thanks for the link! They could have made it funner by featuring a "chart/lovers compatibility tool" though... For example, it cannot be ignored that there are a crazy number of Aquarians in the NHL. CRAZY. And the elite D's and D-pairings seem to be dominated by earth and water signs (again, it's all about the compatibility, but with the D's I think it's more about being super protective and sensitive). Cases in point: Duncs (Cancer) & Seabs (Taurus). Dan Boyle (Cancer) & Douglas Murray (Pisces) & Brent Burns (Pisces). Brayden Coburn (Pisces) & Kimmo Timonen (Pisces).
Taurus Bulls: Kris LePoonTangalangadingdong. PK Subban. Nicklas Lidstrom. Robin Regehr. Alex Edler.
Virgo Virgins: Scott Niedermayer. Keith Yandle.
Capricorn Goats: John Carlson. Jack Johnson. Mark Staal. Steve Montador.
Crabby Cancers: Ed Jovanovski. Zach Bogosian. Christian Ehrhoff.
Scorpion: Luke Schenn
More Fishies: Clayton Stoner. Ben Lovejoy. Jamie McBain. Stephane Robidas. Andrew Ference. Zdano Chara. Erik Johnson.
HOF: Bobby Beautiful Gorgeous Perfect Greatest Ever Orr (Pisces). Al Motherfucking McInnis (Cancer). Doug Wilson (Cancer). Denis Hell Yeah Potvin (Cancer). Randy Carlisle (Taurus). Ray Bourque (Capricorn).
Be jealous: Patrick Kane and Petr Sykora are my blonde brothas from otha mothas... I'm two years younger than PKane :)
July 28th.
Zach Parise, Lauri Korpikoski, Casey Borer, Garth Snow, Steve Staios & Brad Staubitz just to name a few.
There are 23 players I share a birthday with, the only ones really worth anything are Bieksa and Nash.
Wow, what a bust. Darren Haydar which sounds like gaydar (which mine is quite finely tuned), Miroslav Satan (yes, it's Satan. Not Say-tan like those churchies try to say). And the delightfully named but never heard of by me Ron Tugnutt. I bet.
Well, I discovered this post way late (casualty of the google reader, happens a lot) and normally I wouldn't bother to comment. But I share my birthday with the illustrious Grant Clitsome, and I felt that needed to be shared.
The rest of April 14 is not as exciting.
