    David Carle & Red Wings Talk | 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. #MorningCuppaHockey #NHL #CollegeHockey TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro 3:40 - David Carle Joins the Show 4:40 - NHL Coaching Rumours & Staying at Denver 10:07 - Building a Family Culture at Denver 12:09 - Fixing the NCAA Recruiting Calendar 19:45 - NCAA Age-Based Eligibility Changes 23:20 - Should College Hockey Play More Games? 29:34 - Thursday-Friday Hockey & Growing the College Game 34:19 - What’s Next for David Carle? 37:00 - Denver’s Recruiting & Development Model 41:22 - Why Denver Develops Players So Well 48:02 - Is Youth Hockey Recruiting Starting Too Early? 51:22 - The Ideal College Hockey Schedule 56:13 - Does College Hockey Need a Commissioner? 57:37 - Are NHL Bridge Deals Disappearing? 1:01:07 - Dylan Larkin & the Red Wings Trade Saga 1:11:45 - Bet365 Bet of the Day 1:13:38 - Summer Show Plans & Wrap-Up 1:18:37 - Outro Morning Cuppa Hockey is presented by bet365 and Proraso.

    Zach Benson & What Is Pressure? | Morning Cuppa Hockey

    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.

    Au Revoir Gallagher | Morning Cuppa Hockey

    Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on with Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenceman Colby Cohen, and they're bringing in Montreal Canadiens insider Marco D'Amico to break down a wild few days in Habs land. Brendan Gallagher's 14-year run in Montreal is officially over after his trade to the Vancouver Canucks, and Marco joins to unpack what the return really tells us about where things stand. From there the conversation shifts to Kent Hughes' ongoing hunt for a second-line centre, with names like Vincent Trocheck, Mason McTavish and a thinning trade market all in play just days before free agency opens. Marco also weighs in on the Jason Robertson chatter out of Dallas, the Samuel Montembeault situation, the Habs' size-focused draft haul headlined by Gleb Pugachyov, and where things stand in the Atlantic Division. With free agency landing in 48 hours, this is the conversation Habs fans need before everything changes.
