Crunching Numbers & Free-Falling Canucks ft. Mike Kelly & Irfaan Gaffar

Kick off your morning with the messiest, loudest NHL conversations on Morning Cuppa Hockey!Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are back with another jam-packed show diving into the biggest stories shaping the NHL. The guys start by debating the best game of the night before welcoming hockey analytics expert Mike Kelly to break down several league-wide trends. They dig into the Tampa Bay Lightning’s incredible run despite a growing injury list, how they’ve managed to keep pucks out of the net, and what it says about their structure. Mike also explains why Miro Heiskanen is rebounding offensively this season, the impact of condensed schedules on defencemen injuries, whether NHL teams could ever adopt NBA-style load management, Buffalo’s offensive surge, and if Ilya Sorokin is the Vezina favourite. The segment wraps with playoff models, including one team poised to fall out and an underdog ready to sneak in.Later, Irfaan Gaffar joins to dissect the state of the Vancouver Canucks following recent trades involving Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood. The discussion covers whether a full teardown is coming, the future of Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser, how no-move clauses factor into trade talks, early impressions of Marco Rossi, and which prospects Vancouver may be targeting as they eye the draft and the trade deadline.Grab your coffee, settle in, drop your takes in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe.🏒 #HockeyTalk #NHLPowered by @bet365.
