#### Playoffs

Initially I was nervous about tonight's game until something happened that put it into perspective. Hockey is less important than physical health, and I hope that Callahan gets well soon.

> Ryan Callahan is having an emergency appendectomy tonight. Definitely out for Game 6\. Return undetermined. [#TBLightning](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TBLightning?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Who plays on Stamkos's wing in the absence of Callahan?

> Me: "What is an appendectomy?" Siri: "A surgical procedure whereby Jonathan Drouin is inserted into the lineup."

But in all seriousness, my thoughts are with Callahan and his family.

There are more articles at Raw Charge and HEOTP, I don't even care. Shit's getting real.

And from the other side of the fence, the first comment to this article is, "We got him":

But this is the angle I actually care about:
