Season 3 rolls on with another can’t-miss edition of Morning Cuppa Hockey as Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen dive headfirst into the chaos surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs. Guest host Zack Phillips joins the show to break down another Leafs loss, the growing frustration in Toronto, and the big question — is it finally time to sell? Jonny called it early in the season, saying this team wouldn’t be a playoff squad… was he right all along? The guys debate the direction of the franchise, what moves could be coming, and whether this core has run its course.

Then ESPN’s Emily Kaplan joins to discuss Mike Sullivan’s emotional shift from coaching Team USA on the international stage back to the grind of an NHL bench — and what it’s like returning to one of the league’s toughest roster situations. It’s a reality check, league-wide perspective, and plenty of heat.

Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen take Morning Cuppa Hockey on the road for a special LIVE episode from the Atrium inside Ideal Glass Studios in New York City — joined by Colin Wilson and Dennis Seidenberg for a full in-person hockey hang. The show opens with classic Cuppa chaos (yes, there’s a live beard-trim bit), then Jonny and Colby rewind to how their partnership started — including the LinkedIn message that kicked everything off. From there, the convo turns to player perspective: Seidenberg’s work with the Islanders (and why Matthew Schaefer has everyone buzzing), how young stars handle hype, and what international tournaments feel like from inside the room, with stories from Olympic stages and NHL benches. Then the crowd takes over with a long Q&A to close it out.
