Season 3 rolls on at the Milan Games and the pressure is officially on. On today’s episode of Morning Cuppa Hockey, Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen kick things off with a strong reaction to France’s Pierre Crinon being banned for the remainder of the Olympics — and what that means for discipline on the international stage. Then Murls joins the show to break down Sweden’s rocky tournament so far. With OEL and Filip Forsberg missing time, Jesper Bratt barely seeing minutes, and William Nylander’s usage raising eyebrows, how did Tre Kronor end up in the qualification round instead of already locked into the quarterfinals? Is this roster built for short-tournament hockey, and who needs to drive the offense? Plus, the goaltending debate — does Jacob Markström get the nod, or was this the moment to give Jesper Wallstedt a look?


At 9:30, Dan Bylsma joins to explain the biggest adjustment NHL stars face in a short Olympic event, how coaching best-on-best differs from an 82-game grind, and whether chemistry or quick line changes win gold. Is this the most talented Team USA roster ever assembled?

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.
