Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen take Morning Cuppa Hockey on the road for a special LIVE episode from the Atrium inside Ideal Glass Studios in New York City — joined by Colin Wilson and Dennis Seidenberg for a full in-person hockey hang. The show opens with classic Cuppa chaos (yes, there’s a live beard-trim bit), then Jonny and Colby rewind to how their partnership started — including the LinkedIn message that kicked everything off. From there, the convo turns to player perspective: Seidenberg’s work with the Islanders (and why Matthew Schaefer has everyone buzzing), how young stars handle hype, and what international tournaments feel like from inside the room, with stories from Olympic stages and NHL benches. Then the crowd takes over with a long Q&A to close it out. #MorningCuppaHockey #Hockey #NHL #JonnyLazarus #ColbyCohen Timestamps0:18 – Live cold open + beard-trim setup at Ideal Glass Studios0:46 – “No bickering tonight” + setting the live-show vibe1:22 – Jonny & Colby origin story begins (broadcasting ambitions)3:40 – Bringing out the guests: Colin Wilson + Dennis Seidenberg5:04 – How Morning Cuppa works live every morning + first live audience show5:45 – Seidenberg’s Islanders role + working with Matthew Schaefer7:23 – Schaefer hype + lottery luck + quick beard-check-in mid-show8:19 – Young defensemen pressure + Cale Makar early-days story10:58 – Live set comedy beat + quick reset before more hockey talk14:05 – NHL room / bench stories (player-to-player moments)15:33 – International hockey opens: expectations vs reality at the Olympics17:12 – Seidenberg’s first Olympics (Salt Lake) + nerves of a 19-year-old18:10 – “Favorite question” setup as the Olympic stories deepen20:32 – Canadians in Salt Lake + era/roster reminiscing27:08 – Transition to crowd participation + opening the floor27:22 – Audience Q&A officially starts (mic / sound check + first question)31:17 – Q&A continues: Islanders/org perspective + Seidenberg insights38:59 – Crowd question directed to Colin: what he misses (and doesn’t) about playing49:54 – Final audience question + “that’s all the time we have”50:14 – Thank yous + closing remarks + outro from the stage

Season 3 rolls on at the Milan Games and the pressure is officially on. On today’s episode of Morning Cuppa Hockey, Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen kick things off with a strong reaction to France’s Pierre Crinon being banned for the remainder of the Olympics — and what that means for discipline on the international stage. Then Murls joins the show to break down Sweden’s rocky tournament so far. With OEL and Filip Forsberg missing time, Jesper Bratt barely seeing minutes, and William Nylander’s usage raising eyebrows, how did Tre Kronor end up in the qualification round instead of already locked into the quarterfinals? Is this roster built for short-tournament hockey, and who needs to drive the offense? Plus, the goaltending debate — does Jacob Markström get the nod, or was this the moment to give Jesper Wallstedt a look?At 9:30, Dan Bylsma joins to explain the biggest adjustment NHL stars face in a short Olympic event, how coaching best-on-best differs from an 82-game grind, and whether chemistry or quick line changes win gold. Is this the most talented Team USA roster ever assembled?🏒 #HockeyTalk #NHLPowered by @bet365. Whatever the moment, it's Never Ordinary at bet365.
