Morning Cuppa Hockey
Quick To React ft. Scott Sandelin
The boys are back with another packed episode of Morning Cuppa Hockey, and it starts with absolute chaos at Madison Square Garden. Jonathan Quick gets heated, the benches clear, and for a moment it felt like the old-school hate was back in hockey. With Mike Sullivan away for personal reasons and Detroit choking the life out of the Rangers, we break down whether New York is actually “back”… or if the real story is the Red Wings finding another gear.
Then we zoom out to the Eastern Conference playoff race with American Thanksgiving just 10 days away — and the Leafs, Panthers, Lightning, Capitals and Rangers all currently outside looking in. Toronto drops another one to Chicago despite Joseph Woll’s return, William Nylander goes shotless in back-to-back games, Tampa beats Florida then gets smoked by Vancouver, and Boston/Detroit/Montreal suddenly hold the top three spots. What is going on in the East?
Out West, Colorado looks like an early Cup favourite with Scott Wedgewood standing on his head, LA locks in Adrian Kempe at 8×$10.625M in a deal that sparks a full “is loyalty ruining free agency?” conversation, and Vegas has lost 6 of 7 while desperately missing Mark Stone. The league is upside down.
And for our Cuppa College segment, Scott Sandelin joins the show to talk about life at UMD more than a decade removed from his national titles, how the program’s identity has evolved, what the NCHC vs. Big Ten power balance really looks like, and why Bulldogs alumni like Mikey Anderson, Neal Pionk, Dylan Samberg, Alex Iafallo and Carson Soucy keep hitting at the NHL level. Plus: Zam and Max Plante carrying the load this season and what makes the Plante family so special.

Chrstmas Special ft. Jason Demers, Kevin Kurz, Marco D'Amico & Jackie Redmond
01:52:44||Season 3, Ep. 47Season rolls into the holiday stretch with a Christmas-special edition of Morning Cuppa Hockey, and we’re loaded with guests and storylines across the NHL. Jason Demers stops by to break down Macklin Celebrini’s ridiculous start, whether the Sharks can actually push for a playoff spot, Jacob Chychrun leading all defensemen in goals (and his Olympic case), plus why Edmonton always seems to stumble out of the gate. Kevin Kurz joins next on the Flyers’ surprising surge, how much Dan Vladar has changed their back end, Rick Tocchet shutting down the Michkov noise, and whether Trevor Zegras’ point-per-game pace is truly sustainable given Philly’s shot and goal rates. Marco D’Amico jumps in to unpack the Philip Danault trade, Jacob Fowler’s rise, Nick Suzuki’s Olympic chances, and Noah Dobson’s breakout. And to close it out, Jackie Redmond reacts to the Maple Leafs firing Guy Boucher, what it really means, how much blame Brad Treliving deserves, and what to expect tonight on TNT vs. Pittsburgh.🏒 #HockeyTalk #NHLPowered by @bet365.

Making A Statement ft. Bruce Boudreau & Zack Phillips
01:29:47||Season 3, Ep. 46Season 3 rolls on as Morning Cuppa Hockey dives into another wild night around the NHL. We start with another tough loss for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who outshot the Stars 28–22 but continue sliding down the standings. Is a coaching change the only card left to play? With no first-round pick, no assets to move, and William Nylander goalless in December, something has to give. Then we jump to Nathan MacKinnon’s ridiculous pace as the Avalanche make a statement against Minnesota—has he become the best player in the NHL right now? We celebrate Sidney Crosby officially passing Mario Lemieux on the Penguins’ all-time games list, hit Buffalo’s six-game heater, and ask what this means for Jarmo Kekäläinen’s direction.Bruce Boudreau stops by to break down the Leafs’ PP struggles (3-for-42), leadership issues, Quinn Hughes in Minnesota, and whether Thatcher Demko can drag Vancouver to another level.Subscribe for daily hockey conversations and drop your take in the comments.🏒 #HockeyTalk #NHLPowered by @bet365.
