But then this Putin stuff surfaces and it's all gone. I wish Leonsis would have the balls to confront him, but he won't. Sad.

I think some of you are being overly harsh here. Putin is crazy. I don't think Ovechkin or his family are so special in the big picture that they are above anything he's capable of doing. He could speak out and gain what? Pats on the back from anonymous people like us that have no skin in the game, while possibly putting family and relatives at risk of harm? This is way more complicated than you think and the stakes are very, very high. We have no idea what Putin has on him.
