Villarreals victory in Valencia kept it in fourth
place and in control of Spains last Champions League
spot. Uche broke free in the area in the 10th minute
and was brought down by goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who
was shown a direct red card.

said with a grin.

club Olympiacos, found the net with a left-footed shot
in the 44th minute off a pass from second-half
substitute Jorge Rojas to open the scoring at Estadio
Nacional de Costa Rica.

Those cheers seemed more special this time because the
captains run on Broadway could soon be over. The
adoration surely sounded much nicer to Callahan than
all the recent trade talk.
Ryan-Kids-Jersey/">Nolan Ryan Jersey . Rodriguez,
who has steadfastly denied using banned substances
while with the New York Yankees, made the decision
nearly four weeks after arbitrator Fredric Horowitz
largely upheld the discipline issued last summer by
baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. "I think its a good
move for him," former Commissioner Fay Vincent
said.WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Sidney Crosby leaned down to
unlace his skates in the locker room after a spirited
practice at Armys Tate Rink, then glanced around and
smiled at all the familiar faces. Home away from home
for the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar. "Its nice to
have everyone here," Crosby said. Their exhibition
slate over and the new NHL season looming, the
Penguins travelled to West Point for three days of
training and team building over the weekend. It was
their third trip here since 2007, and general manager
Ray Shero was hopeful the experience would help a team
that flopped badly against the Boston Bruins in the
Stanley Cup playoffs -- just when it seemed destined
to challenge for its fourth championship. "Were
getting together with our group in a different place,
but its not just a different place," Crosby said. "Its
pretty special. Were all together in this. Were trying
to benefit from all this." The team arrived Friday
morning, met with members of the football team before
the Black Knights flew to Dallas for a game, had lunch
with the cadets, and listened to a brief talk from
Army hockey coach Brian Riley before hitting the ice
for the first time. Not much seems to have changed.
After their stunning exit in four games in the Eastern
Conference finals, the Penguins appear set to give it
another go at the Stanley Cup. While other teams make
themselves over year after year, Pittsburgh has
maintained the status quo on its roster. The Penguins
signed high-scoring Evgeni Malkin, defenceman Kris
Letang, winger Pascal Dupuis, and coach Dan Bylsma to
contract extensions, essentially keeping the core of
the team intact. Also back is goalie Marc-Andre
Fleury, whos in the last two years of his contract and
was a weak link in the playoffs. "Well see how its
going to work," Shero said. "I think these guys are at
the right age. That core group is about 26 years old.
They should be going into their prime. Its not like we
made long-term commitments to players that are 33, 34,
35 years old. These guys are special players, top
players, and you try to keep them. "Weve been a good
hockey team over the last seven years, and we want to
try to win a Stanley Cup again like everybody else,"
said Shero, who also signed a familiar face from the
past, defenceman Rob Scuderi. The players appreciate
what management has done. "I think it helps," said
Crosby, healthy again after being plagued by injuries
that included a concussion suffered at the 2011 Winter
Classic. "Theres no guarantees. It doesnt mean that
the seasons not a process. Being familiar, having that
trust in one another, knowing your role and whats
expected, that goes a long way. Im glad that were able
to have that." "Thats huge," Dupuis said. "You want to
go to battle with guys that you trust. I wanted to
come back. I didnt know how much they wanted me back.
Seeing all these pieces of the puzzle falling back
together, now its a matter of us playiing together and
making it happen.dddddddddddd "You dont want to repeat
history. You dont want to be a team that does it again
and again. At the same time, you can learn from this
stuff." That these star players faltered at the most
inopportune of times is certainly not unprecedented in
the Stanley Cup playoffs. Just ask Bobby Orr, Phil
Esposito and their teammates on the 1971 Boston
Bruins. The highest-scoring team in league history to
that point was beaten in seven games by the aging
Montreal Canadiens, who used a stunning performance by
goalie Ken Dryden, a rookie with six NHL games under
his belt, to spur an upset nobody in his right mind
would have predicted. The Penguins played the Bruins
three times in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season
and won all three by one goal. After beating the New
York Islanders and Ottawa Senators in the playoffs,
Pittsburgh collapsed. The highest-scoring team in the
league went bust as Crosby and Malkin didnt score a
single point and Boston outscored Pittsburgh 12-2 in
the sweep. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask provided the
Dryden factor, stopping 134 of 136 shots by a team
that averaged 4.27 goals in its first two playoff
series, and Bostons defence took away the swaths of
open ice that had allowed Crosby and Malkin to
operate. It all happened in early June, yet still
seems like only yesterday. "I dont think we were the
only team expected to win," Crosby said. "I think it
hurts even more because we were that close. Thats the
sport. Nothings given to you. You have to be at your
best at the right time and get some bounces, and we
werent there. "You try to learn from everything,"
Crosby said. "Well definitely take some lessons. We
did a good job the first two rounds, but the playoffs
isnt only two rounds. Youve got to find a way to raise
your level each series. Every time you get to the next
round, its going to get tougher and tougher." Bylsma,
who guided the Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup, still
has no explanation for what went wrong for the second
straight year -- the Penguins also were ousted the
previous year by the Philadelphia Flyers in a fight-
filled first-round series. Hes glad to be back for
another try, glad to have much of the same crew on the
bench. "There may be a desire or a gut reaction or an
outside need to say you need to blow it up and change
this, change that," Bylsma said. "I dont think that
breaking up this group of players -- theyre quality
people -- is something anyone would want to do. Its a
team thats won more games than almost every other team
in the National Hockey League and more playoff games
than any other team the last seven or eight years.
Theres disappointment by not winning and going to the
finals and winning the Stanley Cup, but the group I
think is happy to be together to try to do it again."
Added Scuderi: "Me personally, Id rather stick with
guys that I know have been there and want to go there
again, not blow something up for an unknown equation."
