NHL labor talks are set to resume

NHL labor talks are set to resume with a wide gap remaining and time running out to avoid a potential lockout.

NHL Players' Association executive director Don Fehr and NHL commissioner  GaryBettman are scheduled to be back at the negotiating table at the union's headquarters in Toronto on Wednesday. It will mark the first time in a week the respective leaders will meet face to face after negotiations hit a significant snag.

Last week, Bettman essentially rejected the union's counterproposal by calling it incomplete and suggested the sides aren't on the same page in addressing the league's economic issues.

Walsh Jennings won’t even allow herself to think about the emotions

That's the only set the two have dropped in three Olympics during a 20-match winning streak.

Walsh Jennings won't even allow herself to think about the emotions that will come once they're through.

"No, I don't," Walsh Jennings said. "I'm focused on our goal, and our goal is to enjoy every second of this, which we're doing, and our other goal is to win a gold medal. And after that, we'll see how it goes."

As they walked off the Olympic sand for the second-to-last time, Walsh Jenningsraised both arms to the cheering crowd.

"We know we have this in us," Walsh Jennings said, "we've just got to go execute."
