Author: The Nation Network April 20, 2026 Duration: 1:41:46

Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on as Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen brew up a massive episode to break down a chaotic Game 1 around the NHL! The postseason is officially here, and the guys are diving straight into the deep end with a loaded guest list.


The guys kick things off with Billy Jaffe, who joins the show to discuss a shocking Game 1 for the Boston Bruins. Billy breaks down what went wrong in their loss to the Buffalo Sabres, analyzing the defensive breakdowns and whether Bruins fans should be hitting the panic button already.


Next, three-time Cup champ Patrick Maroon drops by to help the guys make sense of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s opening loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Pat gives his perspective on the Bolts' slow start and what it takes for a veteran room to flip the switch after a tough Game 1.


To wrap things up, James van Riemsdyk (JVR) joins the show to share his expert thoughts on the playoff field as a whole. From dark horse favorites to the heavy hitters in each conference, JVR gives his "player's perspective" on who actually has what it takes to hoist the Cup in 2026.

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.
