    3ICE Week 4: Larry Murphy on the Future of 3-on-3 Hockey + Kaden Bohlsen’s Championship Run

    3ICE Week 4 delivers another fast-paced look at the future of three-on-three hockey with Hockey Hall of Famer and four-time Stanley Cup champion Larry Murphy, plus Boston forward and Week 4 champion Kaden Bohlsen. Larry Murphy joins Larry Richert and Jay Caufield to discuss coaching in 3ICE, why the league’s nonstop format puts so much pressure on players, and which 3ICE rules he would love to see adopted by the NHL. Murphy also breaks down the strategy behind three-on-three hockey, the importance of instant offense-to-defense transitions, and why he believes the format could eventually have a place in the Winter Olympics. Murphy also goes back to one of hockey’s most iconic moments—the 1987 Canada Cup—and shares what it was like being on the ice with Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux for the legendary game-winning goal against the Soviet Union. Then, Kaden Bohlsen joins the show after Boston captured the Week 4 championship. He talks about adjusting to the speed and conditioning demands of 3ICE, learning from Hall of Fame coach Ray Bourque, preparing for his upcoming season in Grand Rapids, and why the league gives young professionals another opportunity to showcase their game. Finally, Jay goes to the telestrator to break down Boston’s championship performance, including defensive coverage, transition opportunities, and 3ICE’s unique jailbreak penalty shot.

    Pierre Turgeon & Eddie Matsushima Break Down Buffalo’s 3ICE Championship Win

    A special 3ICE edition featuring Hockey Hall of Famer and Buffalo coach Pierre Turgeon alongside Week 3 championship hero Eddie Matsushima. Larry Richert and Jay Caufield break down Buffalo’s championship run, the strategy behind 3-on-3 hockey, and what makes 3ICE such a fast, demanding version of the game. Turgeon shares his coaching philosophy, why confidence and positive reinforcement matter, and how communication and defensive structure become even more important with so much open ice. He also looks back on his incredible journey from the Little League World Series to the Hockey Hall of Fame, plus memories of the Islanders’ unforgettable 1993 playoff upset of Pittsburgh. Then Jay goes to the telestrator to break down Matsushima’s game-winning goal, Buffalo’s defensive approach, Keith Kinkaid’s huge performance in net, and the unique 3ICE “jailbreak” penalty format. Matsushima joins the show to explain how players train differently for 3-on-3, how Buffalo creates separation with speed, and why controlling the puck sometimes means slowing the game down instead of attacking immediately. Eddie also discusses the impact Turgeon has had on his career and life, including one lesson he’ll carry into his next season in Savannah: have a short memory and keep moving forward.

    Penguins’ 8-Year Gamble, Steelers Camp & Pirates Free Fall

    Larry Richert and Jay Caufield break down a busy week in Pittsburgh sports, from the Pirates’ frustrating slide to the latest storylines coming out of Steelers training camp. The conversation starts with the Pirates falling further behind in the Wild Card race as starting pitching, defense, and consistency become major concerns. Then, the guys turn to the Steelers, where Mike McCarthy’s new era continues to take shape, Mason Rudolph is drawing praise, and the quarterback depth chart becomes one of the biggest things to watch heading into the preseason. Later, Pierre McGuire joins the show to dive into the Penguins’ surprising eight-year, $4 million-per-year commitment to a young player and what Kyle Dubas is betting on with the deal. Pierre explains why he understands the thinking—but also why long-term contracts like this can become dangerous if the player doesn’t develop as expected. Pierre also gives his early outlook for the 2026-27 Penguins, explains why he would never bet against Sidney Crosby, discusses Evgeni Malkin’s impact, the importance of goaltending, and whether Pittsburgh has enough size, toughness, and defined roles throughout the lineup to compete in a difficult Eastern Conference. Plus, the guys discuss NFL running back value, Larry Fitzgerald’s Hall of Fame moment, the Big Man Blitz, and much more. Sponsored by Henderson Brothers, Rohrich Automotive & Zerorez Commercial.
