Marian Hossa turned 38 years old on Thursday, but one teammate wasn't aware of it.
After practice, Patrick Kane didn't quite catch on when reporters implied that it was somebody's birthday.
"Uh oh, I missed a birthday?" Kane asked, then responded after being reminded it's Hossa's: "Oh, is it today? Uh oh. I mean yeah, I knew that, for sure. Oh man, I guess I'll have to wish him a happy birthday after this."

Kane brushed it off as best as he could, then praised Hossa for continuing to play at a high level despite his age.
"It seems like he's got that Benjamin Button syndrome where he's aging the wrong way," Kane said. "He's a special breed. We always joke in here saying he has super genes. It never seems like he slows down or misses a beat, so he's a fun player to watch. Pretty much the same player that I remember when I was watching him as a kid and that I remember when he came here to the Blackhawks. Special human being, special player, too."
