The body

Philip Rivers Jersey Pink. The bow of the sunken South Korean naval vessel Cheonan is lifted by a giant crane off Baekryeongdo island, near the maritime border with North Korea, northwest of Seoul, South Korea, April 24, 2010. The body of a missing sailor was found in the bow of the sunken Navy warship Cheonan, which has been pulled out of water by the Navy and a civilian salvage team on Saturday, according to local media. Tweet Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins owned Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals in the early years of their rivalry. Now, Ovi and the Caps are getting even -- at least in the regular season. Neither player had a goal (each had an assist) during Washingtons 4-3 shootout win Wednesday -- the first time thats happened in their last 13 meetings, dating to Oct. 16, 2008. But this seasons series has been all Ovi and the Caps -- theyve won each of the three meetings, once in regulation, one in overtime and once in a shootout. For the first time in their rivalry, Ovechkin has been significantly more productive than Crosby in their meetings. Ovi has 5 goals and 8 points in his three games against Crosby and the Penguins, while Crosby has 3 goals and 4 points in the three games. Sid outscored Ovi, 19 points to 15, in the first three seasons of their rivalry -- and the Penguins went 10-1-0 in games when both of them dressed (Crosby missed one game, a Washington victory, with an injury in 2007-08). Thats why Crosby still leads his points race with Ovechkin -- in the 18 games in which theyve both played, Sid has 11 goals and 30 points, while Ovi has 15 goals and 29 points. And despite not beating the Caps this season, the Penguins with Sid have dominated their regular-season meetings, going 11-5-2 to 7-8-3 for Ovi and the Caps. Alex Ovechkin Left Wing - WSH GOALS: 45 | ASST: 53 | PTS: 98 SOG: 331 | +/-: 44 Of course, the Penguins got the biggest win last spring when they beat Ovechkin and the Caps in Game 7 of their second-round playoff series -- even though Ovi actually outscored Sid 14-13 (both had 8 goals). Missed opportunity -- The Penguins had their chance to win Wednesdays game when Kris Letang and Crosby beat Jose Theodore in the first two rounds of the shootout. That kind of a lead is money in the bank -- about 78 percent of this seasons shootouts have been won by the team that scored first. But Ovechkin and Alexander Semin scored for Washington to push the competition into a fourth round, and Mike Knuble scored the first shootout goal of his career to give Washington the 4-3 win -- and make the Penguins the first team this season to lose a shootout after taking a 2-0 lead. Lets hang on -- Its no secret the New York Islanders still have a lot of work to do. They were 30th in the League standings in 2008-09 with 61 points, and while theyll improve on that total this season (they already have 70 points), they appear destined for a bottom-five finish. But if theres one area in which the Isles have to improve to become a playoff team again, its holding onto a lead once they get ahead. COLUMNISTS Devs domination not a good sign for Pens By John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist Theres far more to the Devils season sweep of the Penguins than just six wins.

Andre Johnson Jersey Youth White. That marked the eighth time this season the Isles have led by more than one goal and failed to win the game -- tying the Islanders with Detroit for the most blown multi-goal leads in the League this season. New York also has had eight other games in which it led by two or more goals in regulation, saw the opposition tie the game but won in overtime or a shootout. On the flip side, the Islanders
