Sabres & Habs: Best Of Three | Morning Cuppa Hockey

Season 3, Episode 126 — Jonny Lazarus and former NHL defenseman Colby Cohen are in the cup with a packed show after one of the wildest nights of the 2026 playoffs.

Sabres PBP voice Dan Dunleavy calls in fresh off Game 4 to break down a bonkers night at the Bell Centre. Zach Benson scoring the winner on his 21st birthday, the goalie interference call that flipped the momentum in the first, UPL's return in net, and what a 2-2 series means heading back to Buffalo for Game 5 Thursday.

Then Peter Baugh of The Athletic joins to dig into the Colorado-Minnesota series with the Avs one win away from the West Final. MacKinnon's monster run, the Wild's brutal injury situation heading into Game 5 tomorrow night in Denver, and whether Colorado can finally close a series out at home for the first time in nearly 20 years.

To close it out, 2003 Conn Smythe winner and 2007 Stanley Cup champion Jean-Sébastien Giguère joins from inside the Canadiens organization to talk about Jakub Dobes and one of the great rookie goalie playoff runs we've seen in years. Plus, Jiggy reflects on his iconic 2003 run with the Mighty Ducks and what it actually takes to raise your game when the stakes are highest.

Plus, news breaks during the show that the Toronto Maple Leafs have parted ways with Head Coach Craig Berube. Instant reactions from Jonny, Colby, & all three guests on today's show!

Three guests, a birthday goal, a series flipped, and a Colorado team one win away from the West Final. Buckle up.
