Mike Grinnell","description":"<p>Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey rolls on with a major coaching shake-up leading the conversation. With Colby Cohen out, Steve Peters steps in as guest host alongside Jonny Lazarus, and the guys dive right into the biggest story in the NHL: the Vegas Golden Knights firing Bruce Cassidy and replacing him with veteran bench boss John Tortorella. What led to the move, what it means for Vegas moving forward, and how Tortorella’s demanding style could reshape the team are all on the table. We are joined by Mike Grinnell for a wide-ranging hockey conversation, breaking down the coaching carousel, league storylines, and plenty more from around the NHL.
