NHL, NHLPA to meet today

The NHL and the Players' Association are meeting today at the NHL offices in Manhattan.  This will be the first such meeting since they got together during the Stanley Cup Finals.  Both NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA head Bob Goodenow are expected to attend. I can't imagine that anything of substance will get resolved today and, that even if something was, that it would be announced.  Short of a deal being reached, I see nothing coming out of this meeting.  Both sides will say the meeting was "productive, " but that there's "still a long way to go before a deal is reached."
