Season 3, Episode 125 of Morning Cuppa Hockey is here! Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenseman Colby Cohen are back at the table with a loaded Tuesday morning show as the 2026 playoffs heat up. Legendary NHL bench boss Bruce Boudreau joins the guys to break down the biggest coaching decisions happening right now in the postseason. Then Minnesota Wild broadcaster Pat Micheletti reacts to last night's Game 4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche as the Wild now trail the series 3-1 and face elimination. And to cap it all off, former NHL goaltender Devan Dubnyk dives deep into the goalie carousel that's been defining this year's playoffs — from Wallstedt to Wedgewood to Blackwood and beyond.
