Ep.271 - Is Minten Driving the Wagon?
Aight folks, we're all back at it. Bruins are in the middle of a west coast swing and it's a great time to reflect on the start to the season this team has had. McAvoy is back. Poitras is exceeding expectations. And is Minten driving the wagon? (You can't be mean to Ian about this). GET IN....
-
Ep.270 - Andrew, but with Snacks

-
Ep.268 - Doing Captain Shit
Aight folks -- Thomas, Andrew and Ian are back and we're already halfway through the 4 game preseason slate. Still no captain announced (unless you follow Tottenham), no movement yet for the now-injured Mason Lohrei as well as Mathew Poitras -- and you'd have to assume something will give very...
-
Ep.267 - Training Camp Starts TODAY
Aight folks -- Andrew and Ian are here for a good time, not for a long time. Literal short shift for you today just hours away from the start of on-ice training camp. And we've got a signing? GET IN.

-
Ep.266 - I Do Not Care That Chris Kreider Is From Massachusetts
Genuinely, I don't. In all honestly.. I like Chris Kreider. I would have loved him on this team 4 years ago. Play the kids. Oh, and PAY the kids! Minten gets his deal and we have thoughts. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLBruins OFFICIAL CHIRP LINE: (860)...
-
Ep.265 - The WAY Too Early SEASON PREDICTIONS Episode
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...
-
Ep.264 - We've Got Mail
Aight folks, off-season rolls on with another episode of the Short Shift Podcast. This episode contains strong opinions on a certain beverage and I am not even a little bit sorry about it. An hour of hockey talk? Debatable. GET IN. Send us a message
-
Ep.263 - Everything's Perfect Over Here
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. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things...

-
Ep.261 - Bergeron to the Rafters!
Aight folks, we obviously have to acknowledge Thursday's news that Patrice Bergeron's number 37 is going to be immortalized in the Garden --- but we have a lot of season predictions to revisit. We brought the big spoons out to shovel in the crow. Plus your voicemails and much more! GET IN....
-
Ep.260 - Worst Case Scenario Stanley Cup
Aight folks, this is the nightmare finals matchup -- at least for one of us. There is light at the end of the tunnel, however.. because the Leaf's may be choosing between Peter Laviolette or Patrick Roy for their head coach vacancy. Either way -- we're going to LOVE making fun of that. GET IN....
-
Ep.259 - The Clean 30
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…
more -
Ep.258 - THE GOLD EPISODE
Aight folks, new episode and a new mindset emerging as we start talking offseason. Andrew and Ian get the ball rolling, and Thomas shows up late to the party with his mute button ready to go -- particularly when it's time for YOUR VOICEMAILS. PLUS; Evan Gold, Mitch Marner, trade talk, kinks and...
-
Ep.257 - 2025-2026 POST MORTEM

-
Ep.256 - Talk Ya Shit, Pasta
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. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things...
-
Ep.255 - Sabre Rattled
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....
-
Ep.254 - PLAYOFF F'N HOCKEY
Aight folks, Thomas and Andrew are back and have some thoughts about the upcoming series against the Buffalo Sabres, the seventh player award, the value of an elite netminder, meatballs and swearing children. PLUS YOUR VOICEMAILS. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all…
more -
Ep.253 - JAMES HAGENS IS A BOSTON BRUIN w/ Court Lalonde of Bruins Diehards
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…
more -
Ep.252 - The Best Week Of Bruins Hockey
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...
-
Ep.251 - HAGENS UPDATE, and an Unrelated Victory Lap
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...
-
Ep.250 - WE AIN'T LEAVIN'
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? We have to talk about Andrew Peeke. We have to discuss A LOT...
-
Ep.249 - Literally DEADline
Aight folks, serious question that we have to ask eachother -- did the Bruins win or lose at the deadline? And who were the biggest winners and losers? What are the Toronto Maple Leafs actually thinking? VOICEMAILS, PREDICTIONS and MORE. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering…
more -
Ep.248 - Trade Winds! (The Reverse Episode)
Aight folks -- we're doing this one a little differently.. but there's plenty of trade discourse to go over as we approach the deadline. Make sure you set your calendars for the live deadline stream with Ian and Andrew over on the Low Qual channel as well. But here you're here now! Predictions!...
-
Ep.247 - Getting Back To Bruins
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…

more -
Ep.245 - Penalties Kill
The jerseys are cursed, first and foremost. Burn them. Beyond that -- stay out of the damn box, please. We discuss Sturm's indiference to using a timeout to stop the bleeding, and his lack of interest in the shootout. We talk about the McAvoy hit, the new Miracle doc, olympics, Gavin McKenna and...
-
Ep.244 - Craig Berube Fought A Bear
Aight folks, add 'Geekie is BACK' to your list of things you love to see. Second straight 30-goal season AND COUNTING. This episode is going to cover a number of topics including but not limited to who's a candidate for an injury call-up right now, is Arvidsson going to stick around past the...
-
Ep.243 - The Streisand Effect
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...
-
Ep.242 - Belts To Asses
Aight folks, another episode and another streak -- this one positive! 5 of 6 including three in a row at home. Also including an absolute beatdown of the New York Rangers, two hatties, some heavyweight bouts and a Korpi shutty. Plus - your voicemails, predictions and more. GET IN. Cynically...
-
Ep.241 - New Year, New Us
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...
-
Ep.240 - Please Don't Ruin Christmas
Aight folks. Ian is out of action as he recovers from canine venereal disease (speculation), but we have Ace from @2PadStackPod and he's just as annoyed with the last few games as we are. Joonas Korpisalo is becoming a problem, Andrew Peeke out here taking penalty shots, David Pastrnak is...
-
Ep.239 - It's Pronounced "Kolyachonok", Of Course
This week is a very special episode where for 1 hour and 31 minutes we try to pronounce "Vladislav Kolyachonok". Perhaps we sprinkle in some talk about Morgan Geekie, Casey Mittelstadt, or maybe a rant from Thomas on how much the stadium series jerseys are trash. ALSO; voicemails, predictions.…
more -
Ep.238 - I'm A Marco Sturm Guy
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..…
more -
Ep.237 - Our Pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF
Aight folks, the M*A*S*H unit that is the Boston Bruins are getting by at around a .500 clip. 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? Lysell needs to be…
more -
Ep.236 - Morgan Geekie Drives This Bus
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....
-
Ep.235 - Juan Beecher Excommunicado
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...
-
Ep.234 - We Out Here Clappin' Maple Cheeks
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…
more -
Ep.233 - Andrew's Farewell Episode
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...
-
Ep.232 - Seventy More of These Might Kill Us
Aight folks, we've got Thomas and we've got Andrew --- Ian is stuck in traffic but is home safe from Seattle. We've got a really strange and stressful week of Boston Bruins hockey to discuss including some great performances and some very much not so great showings. We've got to discuss Marco...
-
Ep.231 - Marchand and The Immediate Return to Earth
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…
more -
Ep.230 - A Hot and Completely Sustainable Start!
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...
-
Ep.229 - TONIGHT, WE HOCKEY
Aight folks, opening night for your Boston Bruins is upon us. We discuss the opening night roster -- for better or for worse. Were there some snubs? Do we have questions -- and how soon will they be answered? PREDICTIONS are back. Grab a snack-pack and GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly...
-
Ep.228 - Pastrnak's Contract Looks Incredible and other Kaprizov Reactions
Aight folks, the Providence Bruins are out here playing NHL preseason games and we're just enjoying ourselves the best we can. One more week and we're playing real games. Games that count. No captain, but an old captain is back in the fold -- but what will Zdeno Chara's role really be? Also, is...
-
Ep.227 - Preseason: Too Early Reactions
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…
more -
Ep.226 - CAMP! NOBODY PANIC!
Aight folks, the season is right on our doorstep and its time to get hyped up, right? We're gonna talk camp, we're gonna talk middle-six, we're gonna even talk about Ian's pride and joy, Dans. Unfortunately we also have to touch on the big (sort of?) news out of Boston this week -- David…
more -
Ep.225 - SEASON SIX PREMIERE; 2025-2026 PREDICTIONS
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...
-
Ep.224 - Ian's Big Day
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...
-
Ep.223 - Are We Contenders, or Are We On McKenna Watch?
Aight folks, Andrew and Ian are checking in with plenty to discuss regarding the Hockey Canada resolution (if you can call it that). Where's James Hagens going to land? It's also a great time for a free agency retrospective. Plus other news from around the NHL and YOUR fanmail. GET IN. Cynically...
-
Ep.222 - A Rational, Adult View of NHL Free Agency
Well, sort of. Thomas' soundboard is back and he took about 10 business days to edit and post this. Offseason mode, folks. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLBruins | OFFICIAL CHIRP LINE: (860) 506-5444 presented by @SeatGeek, use promo code SHORTSHIFTPOD Send us a...
