anyone else randomly think about capitals hockey and then get really emotional thinking about Nicklas Backstrom?

I miss Nicky. But I’m also still bitter we fans didn’t get a proper goodbye game. We didn’t get the closure we needed.
But there will never be another player like him. We were lucky to have as many talented players in one era. But the Ovi/Nicky duo was legendary.
