thanks for the kind words. Onstad is a great guy to interview because he's a straight shooter and tells it like it is.

My feeling form talking to Pat and others is that there won't be a work stoppage and they'll get a deal done.

But will it be done by Feb 1 or will they keep negotiating past that date, while training camps run on. I wonder. I'd like to hear it's done by Feb 1 so we could move on and see what the new deal means for clubs.
