About this episode
The NHL week kicks off with another jam-packed Morning Cuppa Hockey presented by bet365! Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen react to the Stat of the Day — as Matthew Schaefer becomes the youngest defenseman in NHL history to record a multi-goal game, breaking Bobby Orr’s legendary mark with John Buccigross. Bucci’s tweet comparing Schaefer to Scott Niedermayer sparks a lively debate about how special this kid could be. Jonny’s viral post declaring "the Leafs will miss the playoffs” sets off a conversation about top-end talent and the Leafs’ identity. Meanwhile, Sidney Crosby keeps rolling, but is Evgeni Malkin actually the biggest surprise of the season? The guys also dig into Evander Kane’s two-goal night in Vancouver, Brock Boeser’s red-hot start, and whether Steven Stamkos’ situation in Nashville is quietly becoming one of the year’s biggest storylines. They also discuss the news that the Dallas Stars will host the 2027 NHL Stadium Series at AT&T Stadium and ask whether these outdoor showcases are still must-watch events or have simply become local spectacles. Plus, the latest buzz around Brad Marchand’s near-trade saga before his move to Florida — with Elliotte Friedman joining tomorrow to break it all down. Later, Michigan State head coach Adam Nightingale joins the show to talk culture, accountability, and development. From his growth since being named 2024 Big Ten Coach of the Year to lessons learned from the NCAA Tournament and his work with elite talents like Artyom Levshunov and Isaac Howard, Nightingale offers a fascinating window into the college game’s next wave of stars.
