Stamkos thinks Callahan fits Lightning 'perfectly'
/The early reviews for Ryan Callahan with the Tampa Bay Lightning have, not surprisingly, been quite positive.
Steven Stamkos, via The Tampa Bay Times:
"He's been great for us," Stamkos said. "You don't really know what to expect when a guy comes into a new situation. We knew the type of player 'Cally' is, but you don't know until you play with him and you see every shift and at every practice how hard he works.
"He's a competitor, and he wants to win. He fits into the mold Cooper wants our team to play perfectly."
Cooper, for his part, agrees.
"That kid knows how to play the game below the dots," Cooper said of Callahan, "and we just haven't had a ton of those guys wheel through our organization."
