The real reason Nicklas Backstrom can never return to play is because if he did the moment he stepped foot on the ice he’d be immediately injured by his own teammates welcoming him back. It’d look like a loony toon skit where he’s standing one minute and then all you see is a Ovechkin shaped blur and suddenly he’s in the hospital with three broken bones.

nicklas backstrom and alexander ovechkin as the empress and the emperor - 3 & 4 out of 22

(insp by @formulanni 's tarot series!)

original cards and reasoning below cut

the empress card represents mother hood, nature and fertility. the emperor card represents authority, structure and control - it can also indicate a father figure. both balance each other out.

nicklas backstrom and alex ovechkin were the backbone of the washington capitals and played 1058 games together. they are very well known for their bond - being called, amongst other things, 'a married couple' and 'mama and papa' ( nicki being mama and ovi being papa, and the main reason i thought of them for these cards!). nicklas has been on LTIR for over a year now and is expected to remain there for the rest of his career, and it is very unlikely they will ever play together again; i at least wanted them to be together for this drawing :)

the most insane quote of theirs is when they won the stanley cup together for the first time in franchise history and ovi said "after me, i give it to you baby, the stanley cup" <- videos that make me want to microwave myself

here is an extremely good post by @thornescratch compiling some vital 'yeah theyre married' lore (thank u thornescratch btw for the very good caps posting!!!!)

they recently hung out together whilst ovi is recovering from a broken leg!!

here are some of my fave pics of them :3

after me i give it to you baby
