The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning for a very weird sequence of back-to-back contests but they’re both going to be at home. And it is just perfect timing for the Flyers to lose a whole lot of their talent from the lineup after Bobby Brink, Travis Konecny, and Jamie Drysdale have suffered injuries this week.
With these injuries, the Flyers’ depth will be tested and of course they are facing a Lightning team that has won their last eight games and have the Eastern C...
On November 9, 2024, the Mets sent reliever Eric Orze to the Rays in exchange for center fielder Jose Siri. At the time, Siri was seen as the 2025 version of Harrison Bader: a glove first defender with some potentially interesting offensive skills. It didn’t come without controversy*, and it didn’t necessarily look like a […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced today that they have completed an interview with former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan for their offensive coordinator opening. Callahan was the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals under Zac Taylor before the Titans hired him. Amy Adams Strunk is probably really cheering for him to get the job […]

It’s 2026 and Rays Reacts is back! It’s a whole new phase of Rays baseball. The Tropicana Field roof is getting fixed (with the Rays set to return home in April after a weird 2025 at Steinbrenner Field), and we’ve got new ownership in town led by Patrick Zalupski and his group, who closed the […]
Representatives from Real Madrid and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) met on Thursday in Jeddah for an extended discussion that touched on several sensitive and high-profile issues affecting Spanish football. The meeting took place just hours before Real Madrid’s Super Cup match and lasted close to 90 minutes, making it the longest of the […]
The Tampa Bay Rays have claimed Taiwanese INF Tsung-Che Cheng from the Pirates, filling the final open slot on the 40-man roster. Interestingly, Cheng was designated for assignment to make room for Brandon Lowe, making him a sort of final piece of the trade. Cheng was signed in 2019 for $380,000 but did not make […]
The Norwegian defenseman is currently out of the line-up with an injury, but will give the Tampa Bay Lightning a physical boost once he’s back.

Sure, it’s a couple of days late, but we’ll just blame the post-holiday brain fog for the timing. As the Tampa Bay Lightning cool their heels for a couple of days, it’s not a bad time to take a look at how things went in a busy December. After righting their season with a blazing-hot November, things were a bit more…chaotic in December.
The month started with four losses (not great). Then they found their offense for a couple of games (that’s good!). Next came a couple of losses, includin...
The Rays decided to trade Brandon Lowe and Shane Baz right after we decided to break for the holidays, meaning this is the first chance we’ve had to talk about the two massive deals that now shape the team’s offseason. There are now major holes at second base and in the starting rotation, which the […]
The Carolina Panthers are going to the playoffs despite ending the season with an 8-9 record. It’s a rare but not unprecedented occurrence. It’s happened four times previously—the 2010 Seahawks, 2014 Panthers, 2020 Washington Football Team, and 2022 Buccaneers. As you can see, the Panthers have become the first multi-time entrant into that exclusive club […]
On a night the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated head coach Jon Cooper’s 1,000th game as their head coach, his players honored him with a textbook win over the best team in the league as Brandon Hagel’s snapshot from the right circle in the third period snapped a 2-2 tie with the Colorado Avalanche. Anthony Cirelli added an empty net goal to make the final 4-2 as the Lightning continued their torrid start to the 2026 calendar year with their eighth win in a row.
While injuries have kept both...
As the grueling southeast road trip concluded with a tough third game in four nights, the Colorado Avalanche dropped their second game in a row in regulation in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Colorado didn’t have their best game yet again with exhaustion setting in and finding their lineup much thinner due […]
After falling 2-1 in regulation against the Florida Panthers on Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche wrap up their three-game road trip here tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning. This will be the second and final regular-season matchup between these two teams, with Colorado having won the first game by a final score of 3-2. Colorado Avalanche […]
The status of former Detroit Tigers’ prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy has been a bit of a mystery over the last few days. Malloy was designated for assignment over two weeks ago back on December 21. The fact that he had yet to be claimed off of waivers made it pretty clear something was going on, though […]

Perhaps they were distracted by Florida’s interesting choice of pants. Or maybe it was losing their talisman and first-line winger Gabriel Landeskog to an injury. ...
The Tampa Bay Lightning have ascended to the top of the Eastern Conference on the back of a solid offense and a surprisingly competent defense considering it’s comprised of three players that, if the season had played out as expected, would have been freezing in Syracuse instead of enjoying the sun and fun of Florida. Charle-Edouard D’Astous (19:07), Declan Carlile (14:09), and Max Crozier (15:30) are logging big minutes due to the injuries suffered earlier in the season by some blueline stapl...
The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired OF Justyn-Henry Malloy from Tigers in exchange for cash considerations, according to the team’s official social media account.

The Carolina Panthers earned the dubious honor of being the only team in NFL history to enter the playoffs with a losing record more than once. Of the five teams to have earned a playoff berth while sub .500, the Panthers are two of them. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are another, for the record, which […]
The Rays will be looking to replace Shane Baz’s production in the rotation, and I think the Rays should look in-house and give Joe Boyle an extended run. Boyle has always had plus stuff, but he’s had trouble sticking in the major leagues in previous seasons due to his lack of both control (the ability […]
