If you think there will be hockey this season, you are dreaming. This article in today's NY Post. I don't think this is another Gephardt for VP gaff.

I don't think I'll take the NY Posts word for it, and dreaming, well I don't think you can predict the future and I doubt this reporter can so no one really knows what's going to happen.

As we reported Sunday, the NHL yesterday informed its Manhattan- and Toronto-based staffs of its lockout layoff plans. The news was worse than anticipated. Call it the Tuesday Afternoon Massacre. Up to 70 percent of the league's personnel — essentially all those from the Director's level down on the corporate depth chart in departments across the board — were told during late-afternoon meetings that they'd be laid off upon the Sept. 16 expiration of the CBA. And it gets worse than that.

Sounds like they are just preparing them for a possible lockout, and of course some people are going to want to find work for during the lockout if it happens, and some people are going to want to come back to work after the lockout so they stay and hope it doesn't happen.
