Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on as Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen brew up a massive episode to kick off the postseason! The regular season is in the rearview mirror, and it’s time to see who actually has what it takes to hoist the Cup.


The guys dive straight into the deep end, debating the matchups and locking in their official 2026 Stanley Cup Playoff Picks. From dark horse upsets to the heavy hitters in the East and West, Jonny and Colby break down every series with the insight (and the arguments) you’ve come to expect.


To wrap things up, we go under the hood of the business side of the game. Keith Kavanaugh from PuckPedia joins the show to discuss the playoff salary cap, roster management, and how the league's top contenders are navigating the "chess match" of the postseason.

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.
