Pierre Turgeon & Eddie Matsushima Break Down Buffalo’s 3ICE Championship Win

A special 3ICE edition featuring Hockey Hall of Famer and Buffalo coach Pierre Turgeon alongside Week 3 championship hero Eddie Matsushima. Larry Richert and Jay Caufield break down Buffalo’s championship run, the strategy behind 3-on-3 hockey, and what makes 3ICE such a fast, demanding version of the game. Turgeon shares his coaching philosophy, why confidence and positive reinforcement matter, and how communication and defensive structure become even more important with so much open ice. He also looks back on his incredible journey from the Little League World Series to the Hockey Hall of Fame, plus memories of the Islanders’ unforgettable 1993 playoff upset of Pittsburgh. Then Jay goes to the telestrator to break down Matsushima’s game-winning goal, Buffalo’s defensive approach, Keith Kinkaid’s huge performance in net, and the unique 3ICE “jailbreak” penalty format. Matsushima joins the show to explain how players train differently for 3-on-3, how Buffalo creates separation with speed, and why controlling the puck sometimes means slowing the game down instead of attacking immediately. Eddie also discusses the impact Turgeon has had on his career and life, including one lesson he’ll carry into his next season in Savannah: have a short memory and keep moving forward.
