Aight folks, Andrew insisted we do this. Ian was into it. Thomas was too high on paint fumes to fight it. It's time for the 2026-2027 season PREDICTIONS episode. We pick divisions, we pick Stanley Cup finals, and we pick the cup winners. We also make some bold predictions and other season superlatives or whatever. Just shut up and GET IN.

Offseason mode continues with news about front office shakeups near and far -- and yes, Andrew gets to end the episode with a victory lap whether we like it or not. Death, Taxes, and Thomas' hate for Carolina knowing no bounds. GET IN.

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.

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.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TIMES. 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! 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.

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.
