Short Shift Podcast

How about a thirty-minute bonus pod for all you real ones since the Boston Bruins just dropped a bomb a week ahead of the deadline? Boston lands Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway in HUGE trade with the Capitals as the Bruins send three draft picks and Craig Smith to Washington. There's absolutely no doubt this is entirely indicative of how much Don Sweeney and Co are eyeing a Stanley Cup run,...

Your Boston Bruins are heating up again as they outscored opponents 14-3 this week.. but is Don Sweeney cooking up a trade that we're sour on? Reports at the time of recording are that Vladislav Gavrikov is likely heading to Boston but for what? Wait seriously, for WHAT NOW!? Oh boy. Ian rant incoming.. PLUS a ton more including VOICEMAILS, PREDICTIONS, ETC. GET IN. Send us a message

Shit in your hands and clap because the Short Shift is back after debilitating technical difficulties last week. On this episode Andrew ponders if the Bruins are frauds or if we just miss Jake DeBrusk. Do we miss Nosek? Have Bruins fans forgotten how to lose? We touch on some trade deadline talk -- and Thomas is already burnt out. Plus: The Merkulov Report! Voicemails! Predictions! GET IN. Send us...

Aight Folks. Buckle up for a full 60 minutes (something the Bruins haven't done for a week now, ugh). The B's have their first losing streak of the entire season and dweebs are jumping off the bandwagon. But not you. You are here through these horrible, horrible times. True Bruins fans -- we're back for another Short Shift Pod with Ian, Andrew, Thomas.. and Thomas' soundboard....

Four games, eight points, eleven goals for with just two against thanks to two shutty's. This team is officially beating the brakes off of teams and apparently "some folks" think thats BORING. Hot take: IT'S NOT BORING. The boys discuss the week that was and preview the upcoming start to a potentially difficult road stretch. Plus predictions and maybe, just maybe we'll put...

The biggest dub of the year is in the books as the Boston Bruins take care of Toronto at home Saturday in an important response game after a stinker against Seattle. The Short Shift boys talk all about it -- including how Andrew did his best to avoid the inevitable punch that was promised to him. Shout out to Jim for the incredible hospitality! Krejci hits 1000, Zacha gets paid, Philly gets embarr...

Aight Folks! Another week, another Shorty for you all. Thomas, Ian & Andrew talk about the great success (very nice) in the Wild Wild West. California is Bruins country, just ask Anaheim. David Pastrnak alone outscored the B's opponents on this latest road trip. Wild, right? Also, the boys take aim at a few questionable "media" types that just didn't add up. PLUS some appre...

Aight folks, that was a flat first 40 at the Winter Classic -- but then it got real good, real fast! Huge dub, immaculate vibes.. and we're carrying them into the first podcast of 2023. Ian talks about his experience at the game, we talk DeBrusk's biggest game of his career and the injury he got for his efforts. How does the Boston Bruins maneuver losing one of their top performers? Also...

The final episode of the year! We talk Devils, goaltending, Frederic, Smith, some WJC and much more. We take a peak at some of our preseason bold predictions and see where we stand. Plus a few voicemails and plenty of hockey chatter. Closing out 2022 on a high note just like those Boston Bruins! GET IN. Send us a message

Thomas is back after a week off to discuss the Panthers & Spencer Knight taking seven on the chin, Craig Smith clears waivers and "on" Providence's roster, Cliffy Hockey!? (is that okay?) We also dive into Montgomery's game management, Marchand fighting through a down period, Carlo analysis, two upcoming back-to-backs including a pair of games with New Jersey who have also...

Aight Shorty's -- ughh. Sorry on behalf of Andrew for that one. Episode 102.. oddly enough that was the kiddo's temperature when Thomas had to bail out of recording to take care of things at home. Ian and our recently demoted-to-part-time host Andrew hold down the fort with the help of special guest Anthony aka @BruinsNetwork who is a savant and wealth of knowledge with regards to the Bo...

We should re-record the intro to put Ian ahead of Andrew, right? Anyways -- Short Shift is back for another episode of Boston Bruins talk amongst the boys. You know what we're gonna talk about. Three lines of quality offensive play, including and honestly highlighted by the Hall/Coyle/Frederic line. Praise were praise is due for Freddy on todays episode for sure. Plus all sorts of forward ana...

Hard to believe we haven't killed one another yet, but here we are. Episode number ONE HUNDRED of the Short Shift Podcast. We of course have to talk about how this team is unbeatable at home, how Bergeron is a perfect specimen made in gods image, Ullmark's injury looking worse than it's turning out to be, Forbort's return, the penalty kill, and much more. Plus our weekly predic...

Another massive week for the 17-2 Boston Bruins, including and highlighted by Patrice Bergeron hitting a milestone that less than 100 other players in NHL history have ever done before him. 1000 points is absolutely unreal. We must praise him -- and do so. Is he one of the best ever? Is that rhetorical at this point? Plus, more love for Foligno and Forbort whom appears to be expected back any day...

Linus Ullmark is playing out of his mind, Hampus Lindholm is better than advertised, Charlie McAvoy is back, Patrice Bergeron is the greatest human being in professional hockey, and this team doesn't know how to lose. What are we witnessing here, folks? Voicemails, predictions, and more rolled up in just shy of an hour program. Oh and by the way, this team fucks. Send us a message

Folks, this fanbase went through it this past weekend. We heard you, and luckily so did the Bruins organization. We kick this episode off with a few clips of your voicemails before we give our final thoughts on the Mitchell Miller signing and subsequent dismissal. Plus we touch on righting the ship ON the ice after a downer loss in Toronto. Kudos to Frederic! Kudos to Foligno! and of course... Pre...

This team is unreal right now, folks. Honestly. You couldn't ask for much more out of this team -- and then they go an do what they did in Pittsburgh. The Short Shift boys are back for another 90+ minutes of Boston Bruins hockey talk including Swayman and Forbort's injurys, Marchand coming out of the gate hot as hell with McAvoy coming up behind him.. Who's on the trading block to c...

Aight folks, admittedly this team is putting us in a good mood. Some might say -- too good of a mood. There's some horniness is what I'm getting at. The Boston Bruins have taken 12 of a possible 14 points to start the year, Linus Ullmark looks fantastic, secondary scoring exists, and we're not even at full strength yet. Is it possible to have started any better? Also we discuss Marc...

Short Shift Podcast back for a ninety-fourth time, and here you are listening to it. No 'Aight Folks' to be had as Thomas had prior engagements but Andrew and Ian more than hold down the fort with plenty of insight and commentary on the opening week for the 2022-2023 Boston Bruins. But wait! Thomas call's in to make sure he gets his predictions in! Will the whiskey influence the ear...

The Short Shift boys are stoked and ready for tonights season opener, and clearly you are too if you're downloading this episode. Can you believe we all made it through the offseason in one piece? Is there anything left to complain about on this joyous day? Yes. Foligno. Don't miss our game predictions as we start another season of smack talking and crappy beer bets. Oh yeah, and Hockey...

Aight folks, just a week away from the start of the 2022-2023 season opener for YOUR Boston Bruins. Camp rolls on and there are some cuts/waiver moves to be discussed. Namely: Oscar Steen. Does he clear waivers? Is there a message being sent? We also discuss other camp noteables (for better or worse) such as Nosek, Foligno, McLaughlin and Johnny F'n Beecher. Plus: is the cause for concern reg...

The Short Shift Podcast officially kicks off our THIRD season with an episode full of Bruins and NHL hockey talk. First we give our immediate impressions on what we saw in the first two preseason games -- who's impressing, who's not. Then we dive headfirst into predictions on where we think the Bruins stand in the Atlantic Division including final point total, win total, and potential se...

A Short Shift throwback with just the original hosts Thomas and Andrew, oh my! And a true short shift as the boys keep it under 40 minutes.. not on purpose though. Thomas couldnt stop throwing up but fear not -- thats all edited out. You can still hear him fighting it off a good amount if you pay attention. ANYWAYS. Chara officially announces his retirement and we give our initial thoughts and rea...

Another Short Shift, this week sans-Ian. We do however have a long-overdue guest spot featuring our friend and loyal listener, Ang aka BornBruin. We talk prospect challenge, we talk captains practice, and we certainly cover lots of ground regarding Ang's hometown of Montreal and their complete disaster of a hockey franchise. There's plenty more to unpack on this weeks installment so grab...

The kids are left unsupervised as Thomas is laid out and voiceless. Andrew and Ian guide you through the 88th (shoutout Pasta) episode of the Short Shift Podcast! Topics? Topics! Our beloved "Dunk" in PVD has been renamed. BOO! How about another hockey culture failure? (Scott Smith swiftly raises his hand). How blind is the king of Canada!? Jersey ads are here, are you ready for some cap...
