Didn't know that was part of being a pro athlete, being "Ready to go", wink wink.

I have never played ice hockey, but from what I understand practicing is not the same as playing. We're always hearing about players not being in "game shape" when they miss games for whatever reason. I would imagine sitting 11 games would make any player fall out of "game shape" and/or get rusty and/or lose a step on players playing consistently.
