Why do the hockey gods hate Ryan Callahan?

[Leonardo87]

Having a great game tonight 5 SOG, has a goal disallowed by a fast whistle and then gets hurt by being pulled down, and is likely down for the season? Why??? The guy is a class act, does not deserve this shit.

After looking at the replay should be cursing OEL for such a dirty play. What an a-hole move.

Callahan had him beat and he grabs him while going down To try and draw a penalty.

Played a gritty hard nosed game when he was a Ranger, wonder if that aged him quicker. He probably just started to break down because he couldn't keep up with that style play forever

He just sucks.

 

[FlamesFan18]

His career has gotta be ending soon. He's either terrible or getting injured these days.

He's actually been playing really well lately, sucks to see him go down. Really unfortunately play.

He's been playing his role really well this year. Still has a lot of legs.

I haven't seen anything about him missing the season. I kind of think this thread might be an over-reaction. If Callahan misses a dozen or two dozen games, it sucks, but it's not the end of the world.

The way he was grabbing his arm, rolling around and kicking his legs makes me think it's pretty bad. Given his pain tolerance, as seen by how he's dealt with injuries in the past, it makes me concerned. Also the way OEL and the ref reacted...

too many ryans in the league

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

 

[Leonardo87]

It’s not about breaking down, was a freak injury that could of happened to anyone. It’s sucks because it took him a year to get back from a major injury and now this crap.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Callahan has been amazing lately. He's shooting like 2% lol. Some awful luck, and then this. Damn.

 

[Windy River]

After a few years at 6MM per year he'll be alright.

We should really wait to hear how long he's gonna be out before we start talking like his career is over. The guy misses 10-20 games in a good year, so it's not like anyone was expecting 82 anyway.

Agree it's still early in the season too. At least it wasn't a leg injury that will take a year to heal.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

It's my fault guys. Look at my nick, also take in consideration i got osteogenesis imperfecta type 1. I probably gave him a slice of my disease, lol.

God might not be a fan, but luckily for Callahan, Yzerman was a big enough fan to give him $34,800,000.

 

[rent free]

its cuz he's overpaid

idk why he didn't just ask for 36 million...

[Fatty McLardy]

aww that's too bad... but Lightning won't miss the 5.5 million 4th liner one bit.

 

[JT Kreider]

That's too bad for Callahan. He suffered multiple shoulder injuries at the end of his career with the Rangers.

Subluxation in a fight against the Flyers and then needed surgery for what was ultimately a torn labrum.

 

[Sky04]

Because his fanboys are the worst.

Also luckily, he didn't have hands to begin with so this won't affect his game upon return
