It helps if you read these like a extra long run-on sentence.

2/ fanboy owner Leonsis made in 2004 when he decided
his business model would be not building a winner but servicing a
marketable megastar.

3/ There’s nothing wrong with building a team around
a star, but it has to be the right kind of star. Ovi just isn’t
the “win first” type.
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

4/ I’ve known Ovi since he was 17. Kid was born with
a silverware set in his mouth. Always told he is the greatest,
teammates must be worthy
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

5/ but his demands on himself stay the same. He’s not
the bloodied inspirational leader. He is the tousled-hair sexy
charismatic ruffian.

6/ Yes, he’s the NHL’s favorite stripper who’s
been giving the hockey world a lap dance for 13 years. Sorry, but
the length of your erection
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

7/ hockey world, is unhealthy by now. You need to face
the truth: the Caps personality-cult culture is counterproductive to
winning the cup.
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

8/ Fueled by innumerable fanboy blogs and media whipped
into terrified subservience by CapsPR, the culture feeds on self,
kills all dissent,
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May
10
9/ and spurns all criticism. You know, Caps fans, that
despite all the issues Oates and Hunter had, your main problem w/
them was trying to
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May
10
10/ turn Ovi into a man of the system. You hate that.
You want your boy toy wild and free. Everyone wants this of Ovi,
even RUS coaches.

11/ Compare this to Crosby who will take any role on
CAN w/o complaint. You call 87 a whiner, but who whined the loudest
during the lockout,
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May
10
12/ threatening to stay in the KHL? Who whines now,
threatening to leave the league to get an Olympic trinket? While
Leonsis bends over
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May
10
13/ backwards to satisfy all his ridiculous demands.
This is a guy who looks out for himself and his public image (Wild
and Sexy Rebel,
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

14/ Patriot of Motherland). His only interest in the
Cup is how his reflection will look in it. Problem is, Leonsis has
the same priorities.
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

15/ He has dissolved himself and the team in Ovechkin’s
13-year-long marketing campaign. It worked out great financially.
The price to pay
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May
10
16/ is being humiliated every year by real winners.
Congrats, Caps, you've sold lots of t-shirts. Congrats, Caps fans,
you've been had.
Slava Malamud @SlavaMalamud May

17/ Oh, and that sound you’ve just heard is your
window of opportunity slamming shut. I hope this wild ride on the
Charisma Train was fun.
