Tuesday, December 2nd TrillerTV+, 7:00 pm ET, CountryBox: Where Music Meets Boxing. From the Texas Troubadour Theatre in Nashville, Tennessee, not that any regular Bad Left Hook reader needs to be reminded.

A chance to rebound for the Sens on a rare Sunday night road game
The Carolina Panthers are back in the market for a signature upset win. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football this year. This could hardly work better as a script if it was written for Hollywood. Unfortunately, this is reality and the odds are that the good team plays well […]
Utah Mammoth star Logan Cooley was forced from their game with the St. Louis Blues Saturday night in the third period, after a knee-on-knee collision with Blues forward Alexey Toropchenko. It looked bad, as most knee-on-knees do. But the initial word from medical tests has the Mammoth breathing a huge sigh of relief. Sounds like #TusksUp Logan Cooley dodged a bullet - initial finding was that Cooley has a quad contusion. Cooley is getting MRI imaging to confirm there is no knee damage, t...
The Hurricanes are back tonight with another home game against the Calgary Flames at 5 PM in the Lenovo Center with a chance at the top spot in the Metropolitan Division. Friday’s 5-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets was a get-right game for the Canes, who before that had only won two of their last […]
Laurent Brossoit hasn't played a game for the Chicago Blackhawks since signing a two-year, $6.6 million deal with them in the summer of 2024. He's been out recovering first from knee surgery, then hip surgery. It's cost him a season and a half, but he's getting closer to a return. Insider Elliotte Friedman noted on Hockey Night in Canada that, while his future doesn't appear to be in a Blackhawks uniform, as they don't have room for him in their crease, a notable suitor is lurking, and Chicago...
Hail, traveler! It’s nearly time for Falcons football again. This time out, it’ll be a Falcons – Jets game, a series where the Falcons and Jets have managed to score over 28 points just once, when New York did it in 2013. These games tend to be close, they tend to be unspeakably ugly, and […]
The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) travel to take on the Carolina Panthers (6-6) in what could be a one-sided affair as the Rams are expected to walk away Sunday with a win. But it’s any given Sunday in the NFL, and the Panthers have had some weeks where they’ve looked good, so check out our […]
On November 30, 2023, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the 14th goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game and the 9th goaltender to shoot the puck into the net. Defending a 3-2 lead against Tampa Bay with a minute remaining on the road, Jarry collected an Anthony Cirelli tip in and promptly fired it 175 feet into the Lightning's empty cage. The
On November 30th in 2005, Boston Bruins GM Mike O'Connell traded the jewel of the 1997 Draft to Doug Wilson's San Jose Sharks for first rounders Wayne Primeau (17th in 1994), Marco Sturm (21st in 1996), and Brad Stuart (3rd in 1998), stunning pundits from coast to coast. Blindsided by the deal, Joe Thornton went on to win the Art Ross and Hart trophies in his west coast debut, cinching the
On November 30th in 2009, Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard bloodied teammate Tomas Vokoun with a vicious slash to the head after Atlanta Thrashers star Ilya Kovalchuk scored halfway through the first period. Vokoun exited on a stretcher after a 10 minute delay and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The Czech netminder escaped serious injury, needing only 10 stitches to
The Los Angeles Rams announced their inactive players on Sunday morning, including newly re-acquired cornerback Derion Kendrick. L.A.’s other inactives are RB Jarquez Hunter, C Beaux Limmer, DL Desjuan Johnson, and Stetson Bennett, who will serve as the emergency QB. Kam Kinchens, Poona Ford, and David Quessenberry were listed as questionable on Friday but all […]
It’s week 13 of the NFL season and the New York Jets are at home in East Rutherford, New Jersey to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST. The Jets have opened the 2025 season with 2-9 record. They started with seven straight losses, won two straight, and now have […]
The Blackhawks have lost five straight games. Their last game was an unusually flat performance on home ice, which was even more disappointing because they broke out their black uniforms for the first time in nearly two decades. They’ll have the black on again today. Hopefully the on-ice effort (at least) is better. The Anaheim Ducks come in 5-5-0 in their last 10 games and their last two games have been 5-4 finals (one regulation loss to Vancouver, Friday night an overtime win against th...
What did we learn about the Edmonton Oilers this week? Not much. The Oilers have long been fans of the zig-zag. Think they’re turning the corner? No, no. That game against Dallas was a classic Oilers trap. Coming off an emotional win vs arch-nemesis Florida, they had one of their several letdown games this season. …
Thomas Milic’s NHL debut stood as a major milestone in a career built on persistence and steady progression.
The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their current homestead on Sunday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks, aiming to put an end to their five-game slide. The Ducks have been one of the surprise stories of the season, charging out to one of their best starts in years. They currently sit at the top of the Pacific Division thanks to having the second best offense in the league, a production rate that is primarily derived from having one of the most productive under-25 groups this season. The defe...
The Tennessee Titans wrap up a four-game homestand today that spanned the month of November. They are 0-3 in those games so far, but have played better in the last couple of weeks. Can they put it together today and get a win against the 7-4 Jacksonville Jaguars? Cam Ward finally gets to face a […]
Good morning, folks… The Rangers stuff is pretty sparse today. Reliever Ryan Helsley and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed on a 2 year, $28 million deal, per reports. David Laurila has his Sunday notes column up at Fangraphs.
The Calgary Flames continue to be a team to watch on the NHL's sellers market, even though ownership continues to push GM Craig Conroy to either get the best deal, or keep some of his core in Calgary. It's a fragile situation in Calgary, as the organization doesn't want to be a bottom-feeder team when they open a new rink in a couple of years. Regardless, trade talks are heating up around the Flames, as Nazem Kadri continues to be target #1, with several contending teams looking to add the vet...
From fiery podcast debates to New York’s baffling home slump and the Drury discourse, here’s everything shaking the Rangers media universe.
It has been a difficult season for the New York Jets. The team enters Week 13 action against the Atlanta Falcons with a 2-9 record. Last week’s game ended with the Jets losing to the Baltimore Ravens in a pretty listless performance. That hasn’t dimmed confidence in the team’s future, though. In this week’s SB […]
While fighting in the NHL isn't necessarily what it used to be, on Saturday in Boston, there was one of the best fights of the season. Bruins forward Mark Kastelic, who is a big boy at 6'4, and 234 pounds, came in hard on the forecheck on Detroit Red Wings defenceman Mo Seider, and next thing you know the flippers are off. Seider is a big human himself at 6'2 and 210 pounds, however, this bout belonged to Kastelic, who got his right hand free and threw some heavy haymakers. You be the judge, w...
To be polite, fans of the Carolina Panthers struggled to find much about their team to be thankful for this week. Suspicious playcalling and bad quarterbacking spoiled a huge potential upset against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. Nascent conversations about the playoffs turned back into debates over just how big of a […]
