TORONTO -- The NHL, NHLPA and International Ice Hockey Federation will meet Wednesday in New York to discuss the NHLs participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said he doesnt expect big news to emerge from the meeting -- one that will also include representatives from Hockey Canada and USA Hockey -- but time is running out to make a decision on NHL players competing in the next Winter Olympics.[The IIHF] had a meeting, as I understand it, with the International Olympic Committee last week, Daly said. I expect well get updated on that and see what the next steps are.As for a timeline, Daly didnt want to put a hard deadline on it, but the league is starting to prepare its 2017-18 schedule. An Olympic break would have to be factored in.I think everyone would agree that were late in the game already, Daly said. Were going through the process of doing our schedule for 2017-18, and obviously its very relevant to what that schedule looks like ... its something we need to get resolved quickly.During a Monday morning panel at the PrimeTime Sports and Entertainment conference, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed that the IOC is refusing to pay for insurance and travel costs that have been picked up in the previous five Olympics.When asked if the reported cost not being paid was $10 million, Bettman said that estimate was low.Its more than that, Bettman said.He said theres very little appetite from NHL owners to pick up that tab.I cant imagine NHL owners are going to pay for the privilege of shutting down [the NHL season], Bettman said.Speaking at the Hockey Hall of Fame inductions in Toronto Monday, IIHF president Rene Fasel addressed the IOCs reluctance to pay the money it paid in the past for NHLers insurance and travel costs.The IOC will not pay, as theyve said, (IOC president) Thomas Bach said he wont cover the costs for the insurance and transportation, said Fasel. My job is to find the money speaking with the different stakeholders, the national Olympic committees, the member national federations, the organizers; so I think well be very close. The IIHF also has to pay some money. We are very close.ESPNs Pierre LeBrun contributed to this report.Nike Air Max Plus Nz . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The New York Yankees second consecutive loss to Tampa Bay could push them to deal more veterans as the trade deadline pushes.Drew Smyly struck out Alex Rodriguez three times en route to stopping an 11-start winless streak, and the Rays sent the Yankees to their third straight loss, 6-3 Saturday night.New York had won eight of 10 to reach a season-best four games over .500 before the skid but dropped to 52-51.

Weve been inconsistent all season long.San Francisco and the Chicago White Sox both had two scouts at the game. Others teams scouting the series include Baltimore, the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Texas, Toronto and Washington.I cant worry about that, Girardi said.Not even a night off could keep Yankees catcher Brian McCann out of the spotlight. He was asked about the possibility Atlanta would try to reacquire the former Braves star.Im focusing on winning games here, said McCann, who added that he has not been approached about waiving his no-trade provision.Rodriguez, out of the starting lineup the previous six games, struck out in all four of his at-bats to tie his personal high. The 41-year-old designated hitter has two hits in his last 26 at-bats, dropping his season average to .206.I didnt do myself any favors tonight, thats for sure, Rodriguez said. I swung at balls and took strikes. Its been a frustrating season all the way around.Girardi wouldnt say if Rodriguez will be his DH on Sunday against rookie left-hander Blake Snell.ddddddddddddThe second half has been a struggle, Girardi said of Rodriguez.
