    The NHL is solely targeting Jan. 19 as a start date to a 48-game regular season, a source told ESPN.com Tuesday.

    The league had also looked at playing 50 games with a Jan. 15 start date but is no longer considering that option, the source said, given the time constraints posed by the ratification process.

    NHL training camps are tentatively slated to open Sunday, but again that depends on ratification.

    It seems very rushed if you ask me. How are the players going to have time to practice?

    The lazy ones haven't been skating and will probably drop like flies in the first month of the season.

    The good guys have been playing in the K or elsewhere. They're warmed up even though they aren't used to playing with their teammates just yet.
