“I’ll leave if he’s not fired.” Due to their major miscommunication, a key player for the Tampa Bay Lightning has stated he will leave the team if his colleague is not dismissed.
At Lykes Gaslight Square on Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Ryan Callahan will be working with the cancer charity Beat Nb to cover a 6-by-8-foot “secret photo” with 500 magnets.
One magnet will be removed to show off a little more of the photo underneath for each donation of $25 or more. The charity’s Facebook event page states, “You’ll take home the magnet and a facsimile signed thank-you photo of Tampa Bay Lightning star Ryan Callahan.” (Hint: He is also in the covert picture.)”
Ryan Callahan, an experienced forward, is formally hanging up his skates. The former Lightning player announced his retirement on Twitter on Wednesday. He missed the entire previous season due to a back injury that ended his career.
“Looking back on my career, it’s difficult to comprehend how fortunate and appreciative I am to have been able to pursue my childhood ambition for 13 incredible years,” 35-year-old Callahan wrote.

For the last year of his contract, Callahan was placed on long-term injured reserve by the Lightning in June 2019. Although his back problems had persisted for several seasons, they got worse in 2018–19. The team stated at the time that he was advised by doctors to stop playing after the season because of a lumbar spine degenerative disc disease.
Callahan remarked at the time, “It was literally taking it day-by-day, seeing how I felt when I woke up.” “You just try to keep things as loose as possible on game day and hope nothing happens.” It did occasionally.

In order to remove him from long-term injured reserve and free up more salary cap space, the Lightning traded him to the Senators later that summer in exchange for goalie Mike Condon.
He began his career as an analyst at the NHL Network in the fall.

After joining the Rangers for eight seasons, including three as captain, Callahan was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Marty St. Louis in 2014.
Callahan posted on Twitter, saying, “I can honestly say I left it all on the ice and have zero regrets.” “I am grateful to hockey for the countless treasured moments and enduring friendships I have encountered throughout the years! For now, that means saying goodbye to my favorite game, but I have no doubt that we will cross paths again soon.
