Making A Statement ft. Bruce Boudreau & Zack Phillips

Author: The Nation Network December 22, 2025 Duration: 1:29:47

Season 3 rolls on as Morning Cuppa Hockey dives into another wild night around the NHL. We start with another tough loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who outshot the Stars 28–22 but continue sliding down the standings. Is a coaching change the only card left to play? With no first-round pick, no assets to move, and William Nylander goalless in December, something has to give. Then we jump to Nathan MacKinnon’s ridiculous pace as the Avalanche make a statement against Minnesota—has he become the best player in the NHL right now? We celebrate Sidney Crosby officially passing Mario Lemieux on the Penguins’ all-time games list, hit Buffalo’s six-game heater, and ask what this means for Jarmo Kekäläinen’s direction.


Bruce Boudreau stops by to break down the Leafs’ PP struggles (3-for-42), leadership issues, Quinn Hughes in Minnesota, and whether Thatcher Demko can drag Vancouver to another level.

There’s a particular kind of hockey talk that only comes from having lived it, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on Morning Cuppa Hockey. Hosts Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen bring their own distinct perspectives-forged from playing at multiple levels, including a Stanley Cup win-to the day’s biggest stories. Their conversations are less about delivering unanimous takes and more about digging into the nuances behind the headlines, the trends shaping the league, and those controversial plays that everyone is arguing about. This podcast thrives on that genuine back-and-forth; they know the game deeply, but they don’t always see it the same way. Alongside breaking down the news, they regularly pull back the curtain to introduce fascinating figures from around the hockey world, offering listeners a richer understanding of the sport’s characters and culture. It’s the kind of daily analysis that feels like a conversation with well-informed friends, perfect for starting your day. You can catch new episodes live Monday through Thursday, but the recorded podcast is always there for your morning routine, whenever you need that fix of authentic, experienced hockey insight.
