Short Shift Podcast

With Thomas unavailable much of this week -- Andrew and Ian volunteered to touch on a few topics surrounding the NHL playoffs, drama with coaches, and perhaps a few notes on the Boston Bruins. Their goal was to keep it to a "clean 30" minute episode.. so I present to you.. one hour and 16 minutes.

Aight folks, the Bruins have extended the series to Game 6 on the back of Jeremy Swayman with a nod to Pastrnak with a huge OT winner. Can they solve their playoff home woes and force this back to Buffalo? Pasta seems to think so.

Aight folks --  I'm typing this from my hotel lobby and I did not edit this any further than tossing the intro and "mf go b's" outro on the audio file I was sent. So who knows, this might just be an hour + of Andrew and Ian dogwalking me and calling me "Daddy" in a multitude of unflattering ways. However, my hope is that they talk about this BRUINS/SABRES PLAYOFF SERIES and HOW B'S IN 5 IS STILL ON THE TABLE.

I just jinxed it, didn't I. I'm sorry. Go B's. GET IN.

Aight folks, Ian is in Italy indulging in more than just meatballs -- so we have brought in longtime friend, host of Bruins Diehards and knower of puck, Court Lalonde. OBVIOUSLY there's some big news to discuss on this episode. No, not the four game losing streak. NO not the limp towards clinching a wild card. We're of course going to talk about the news that dropped just hours before recording -- James Hagens has signed a 3-year ELC and will report to Boston immediately. GET IN.

Alternate title: That's MRS. Ian Bonner To You! Yeah -- we're going to talk a lot about the Bruins recent stretch of play of course. We'll talk Arvidsson, Zacha, Sturm and much more.. but this episode is for our boy Ian who's just hours away from the biggest day of his young life. We're going to the playoffs and this idiot is gonna miss it. But.. worth it.

Aight folks, the SSP is back again this week and there's no shortage of James Hagens discourse to spew out into the podwaves. We slap some lazy takes down and set reasonable expectations going forward. What percentage chance does he end up in Boston? (pssst.. it'll happen, just breathe).

Andrew wants to make sure it's mentioned multiple times that he's tied for first in the predictions. Plus -- YOUR VOICEMAILS and LOTS OF EYE CONTACT. GET IN.

Quite the milestone for us, and what better way to celebrate than to talk about a team that cannot protect a two goal lead if their lives depended on it! 4 out of 6 points on the road is a win though, right?

Aight folks. Thomas, Ian and the ol' size queen Andrew are back and talking Boston Bruins hockey. Yeah, of course we're going to touch on the golden sweep of US Olympic hockey -- and yeah we're going to talk about the other shit too. Once we put a bow on that, we talk some prospects.. although not nearly as much as Ian did on the most recent Low Qaulity Bruins Fan youtube (like comment subscribe, nailed it). Hagans, Letourneau, Pelosi, etc. We touch on some deadline prep, we make predictions. Fun times in Babylon. GET IN.

Aight folks, another episode of the Short Shift Podcast and of course we're recording after the win streak gets broken in blowout fashion. Are we going to overreact? No. There's things we didn't like of course but it's hard to complain about this recent stretch that Sturm and his Bruins have put together. There's plenty to unpack about trades and speculation surrounding potential deals. Is Lohrei as good as gone?

Aight folks, yeah, so we didn't post an episode last week with the holidays and all that. I want to apologize.. to absolutely no one. We needed a break, I'm sure we all did. Especially after losing game after game after game. Now we're back with the first drop of 2026 and we're riding a two-game win streak.. streak? yeah sure.

Joonas Korpisalo is becoming a problem, Andrew Peeke out here taking penalty shots, David Pastrnak is bare-knuckle brawling.

Aight folks! The Boston Bruins are on a three-game win steak and it's all the more sweeter because two of those dubs came against Jim Montgomery's lowly St. Louis Blues. Binnington only had the sack to show up for one beatdown -- but I digress. David Pastrnak is back after a five game absence.. and Marco Sturm had an interesting landing spot for him upon his return. I dug it. Voicemails! Predictions! Who the f--- is Garrett? GET IN!

Pastrnak is "day-to-day" which is modern NHL terms could mean he's out til after Christmas for all we know. Geekie remains elite however can we talk about Steeves for a minute?

Morgan Geekie is an anomaly (also elite, btw) and has continued his tear even through this tough road trip. Now the team heads back to the east coast for a number of games over the extended holiday weekend -- the holiday that we typically use as a benchmark to decide if a team is for real or not. So where does this team stand? Plus; the Mason Lohrei referendum, Marco Sturm as candid as ever, the Leafs and Preds are both cheeks, predictions, voicemails and more.

When life gives you lemons.. GET IN.

Aight folks, we're back to full strength as a podcast, but the team has certainly gotten thinner over the last week or so. McAvoy takes a puck to the jaw, Arvidsson looks to have a groin injury, Elias is getting closer but is still out, Harris, Mittelstadt, and my feelings -- all hurt. And now Johnny Beecher has been plucked off waivers by Calgary. We give our reactions to that news to lead the episode. PLUS PREDICTIONS AND YOUR VOICEMAILS. GET IN.

Aight folks, we've got Thomas, Ian and not Andrew back for another episode of the Short Shift Podcast. We are joined by none other than Ace Paul Dupont, aka @AceIn603 of the @2padstackpod who is returning this week to help cover a red hot Boston Bruins team fresh off returning the favor to the Sens and beating the brakes off of Toronto -- twice. We talk Pasta's 400th, Khusnutdinov's place on this team, Lohrei's return, and some overdue love for one Nikita Zadorov.

Aight folks, we're back to full strength for a week, and then Andrew is bailing for warm weather and girly drinks but who can blame him. Back here though -- we're vibing. The Boston Bruins are playing excellent hockey and there's a lot of good storylines surrounding this team to follow.. such as the Marat Khusnutdinov coming out party. Sturm's pushing the right buttons (Sorry #6), Korpi has looked markedly improved, special teams has been an unbelievable bright spot. Lots of positives to discuss.

Well, folks. We said last week that things would level out and wow.. did they ever. Too much in fact. The surprising euphoria of opening the season with three dubs has come back on us all in humbling fashion as the Boston Bruins have dropped FIVE straight as of recording. No blowouts, no touchdowns put up on us -- but falling short. Consistently. We'll discuss. We'll have your voicemails. We'll make predictions. And yes, we will discuss and summarize our thoughts on the return to Boston of Bradley Kevin Marchand. What we WONT have is Ian as he took...

Aight folks, this team has come out swinging and we might have ourselves a really fun team to watch this year. Look, are they playing above expectations? Yes. Is it okay to be excited? Also yes. Are we a playoff team? Way to early for that talk -- but I will tell you this: we DO look like a team you don't want to run into in the playoffs. Or in a dark alley. PREDICTIONS. VOICEMAILS.

You know what's not a 'too early reaction'? Matěj Blümel is making this goddamn team. Also, Johnny Beecher.. might... not. 

The Boston Bruins are two sloppy and I guess entertaining games into the preseason. We've got opinions, we've got takes. But you know what? We're optimistic. After all, this is a season about rebuilding and establishing the next window, right? “Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” Go B's.

We should all be getting our minds on REAL HOCKEY GAMES.. because the preseason starts SUNDAY. GET IN.

Aight folks, we're back and we're ready to dive right into the Boston Bruins quest for their 7th Stanley Cup.. or, probably, more realisticaly -- the quest for Gavin McKenna. It's not ALL bad for the B's this season. There are a number of things we'll be watching for and hoping to see out of this transition year under new head coach, Marco Sturm.

Back for another offseason episode of the Short Shift. We're officially putting the bow on our FIFTH season with an hour and twenty-or-so minute episode where we probably discuss hockey for 13 minutes total. And somehow we still cover a lot of ground -- perhaps just not the ground you were expecting.
