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' . 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

Nicklas Backstrom Reflects On Ovechkin...: 'We Knew We Had Each Other'

What's even more impressive to Backstrom is how, despite finding different ways to score and having to change his game over the years, Ovechkin has remained the same person he was at the start of his career.

"Never underestimate Alex," Backstrom grinned.

This article and the video interview embedded are truly great. What was the biggest takeaway from working with Ovi? "Probably explaining to him that he wasn’t always open.”

Also Nicklas is TRAVELLING WITH THE TEAM even though he hasn't played since mid-2023 -- oh, he's still on the team though, obviously, we'll just eat that cap hit until Ovi is done with everything he wants to do because why would you try to get rid of Nicklas?? are you insane? -- just so that he can be available to celebrate. This is Alexander Ovechkin's emotional support center and he will be taking him everywhere.

Scenerna i natt – med Ovetjkins fru

Alex Ovetjkins radarpartner Nicklas Bäckström skiner med hela ansiktet. Det är en känslosam stund för ”Bäckis”, som berättar om firandet til

For Nicklas Bäckström, it became extra emotional when he walked over to Ovetchkin's wife Nastya in her box, and the greatness of the moment sank in. – I just hugged her. Then it let go. It was the same as when I saw Ovi here. I was very teary-eyed. It was very special. I've known him for a long time. I've known his family for a long time…, says Bäckström and gets teary-eyed again. You got a kiss from him here, and it was a bit of a beer shower. How has it been here? – Yes, exactly. I'll probably get a kiss on the mouth later tonight too, laughs Bäckström, who was then asked if it would be as wild a celebration as after the Stanley Cup victory in 2018. That celebration became almost even more famous than the victory itself. – Haha, yes, you can come with me to DC and we'll party a little. [Google Translate]

And then I got a kiss on my cheek, so, I was happy about that...

happy 8/19 to all who celebrate <3
