Morning Cuppa Hockey

On this summer edition of Morning Cuppa Hockey, Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are joined by NHL Hall of Famer Chris Pronger to discuss player empowerment, Quinn Hughes’ contract situation, Dylan Larkin’s trade request, and his new book Earned. Pronger also reflects on his career, adversity, being traded, what’s next for him, and changes he’d make to the NHL. Pronger shares his perspective on why players are gaining more control over their careers, the challenges teams face when players want out, and what it was like being traded multiple times throughout his own career. He also opens up about the failures and adversity that shaped him, betting on himself, and dealing with pressure and doubt even at the highest level. After the interview, Jonny and Colby react to the conversation and wrap up with the Bet365 Bet of the Day and what’s ahead for Morning Cuppa Hockey.

On this summer edition of Morning Cuppa Hockey, Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are joined by Denver Pioneers head coach David Carle for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of college hockey. Carle discusses constantly being linked to NHL coaching openings, why he remains committed to Denver, how he handles those rumours with his players and administration, and the family culture the Pioneers have built. They dive into Carle’s proposal to overhaul the NCAA recruiting calendar, age-based eligibility changes, the ideal number of games for a college hockey season, experimenting with Thursday and Friday games, growing hockey in the United States through the NCAA, his own future in the sport, and how Denver continues to recruit and develop elite talent. After the interview, Jonny and Colby break down Denver’s player development and sports science model, the problems with recruiting players too young, whether college hockey needs a commissioner, the disappearance of NHL bridge deals and how NIL and revenue sharing could impact player decisions, before closing with the latest on Dylan Larkin’s trade situation and what comes next for the Detroit Red Wings.

Buffalo Sabres forward Zach Benson joins Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen on Morning Cuppa Hockey following the signing of his massive seven-year, $7.5 million AAV contract extension.
Before the interview, Jonny and Colby break down Benson’s contract, Buffalo’s collection of team-friendly deals, the possibility of Connor Hellebuyck becoming the Sabres’ missing piece and why Patrick Kane returning home to Buffalo would have been such a great story.

After the conversation with Benson, the guys discuss the Shoulder Check hockey event, its message of supporting teammates and checking in on the people around you, the responsibility star players have to influence an entire dressing room and the importance of positive self-talk. Jonny and Colby also debate the pressure NHL players face in markets such as New York and Toronto, where that pressure really comes from, the relationship between players and the media and why confrontational questions rarely produce meaningful answers.

The show closes with the bet365 Bet of the Day, Buffalo’s chances of returning to the playoffs and an early prediction for the eight Eastern Conference playoff teams.
