Former Lightning captain Dave Andreychuk knows a thing or two about playing a season shortened due to a labor dispute. He's done it before.

So it was helpful to hear Andreychuk, now a Lightning executive, give his thoughts Friday morning on WDAE's Sports Page.

"It's tough, it really is," Andreychuk said. "It's about gelling together as a team right off the bat. And I think the teams that have been together and not have a lot of changes, got their coaching staff in place are the teams that get off to a good start."

Andreychuk also gave the exclusive first look into the details of Sunday's Fan Fest, as he spoke with Rick and Tom before those plans were released.
