John Grahame Ready Quotations

I think everybody came out and did a tremendous job. It's going to be a battle every night and we have to be ready for that.

You've got to want that pressure on your shoulders. You have to be dead not to be excited. I'm no different. I'm ready to get started.

I knew it was going to be difficult to sign everybody, ... I prepared for it that way in the summer, coming in in the best shape I could be in, ready to take on the responsibility of playing night in and night out.

I haven't gotten a lot of sleep in the last 24 hours, but if we were ready to play -- I'd be ready. When that puck drops there is something right there. You may not have as much juice as you normally would, but you'd definitely be focused and ready to go.

It's not the ideal way you'd like to prepare for a game, but it's that switch -- that competitive juice -- that just turns on and you're ready to go.

It's an honor that I've been waiting for, and that I'm ready for.

This part of the year is all to get you ready and to put you in game situations. You would like the outcome to be different, but the most important thing is to see what you need to work on and you can't lose sight of that.
