Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins declare bankruptcy! Well, sort of. Hey at least we know the path forward! Well, sort of. A lot was said this week, and a lot was left unsaid.

| Ep.102 - Ian's On A Heater | 16 Dec 2022 | 01:45:41 | |
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 Boston Bruins.

| Ep.101 - The Gang Does Math | 09 Dec 2022 | 01:23:23 | |
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 analysis and stats coming your way. The Bruins are 5-1-1 on the 'gauntlet', and yes -- it seems that the Bruins themselves are the actual gauntlet. Biggest Bruins related surprise? (good or bad).. Is Krejci what you expected this year? Swayman…currently set in stone as backup, is this a concern? Can we resign Pastrnak AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE. Also, VOICEMAILS and PREDICTIONS. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.100 - Incredibly Online, a Hundred Times | 01 Dec 2022 | 01:31:52 | |
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 predictions and a FUCK TON OF VOICEMAILS. Come for the hockey talk and celebration, stay for the heartfelt thank you's. We're in triple digits baby, it's about time you GET IN. | |||
| Ep.99 - Bergeron, Bergeron! | 23 Nov 2022 | 01:17:40 | |
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 now. Also, is Patrick Kane actually an option for this team? Thoughts on the leaked Winter Classic jersey? PREDICTIONS! (Thomas is on a heater).. VOICEMAILS! VELMA IS ON DRUGS! GET IN! | |||
| Ep.98 - This Team.. | 16 Nov 2022 | 00:57:47 | |
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. | |||
| Ep.97 - Unnecessary Drama | 09 Nov 2022 | 01:07:41 | |
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... Predictions! GET IN! | |||
| Ep.96 - A Team Incapable of Losing | 03 Nov 2022 | 01:33:44 | |
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 create the cap room? Plus we say goodbye to Studnicka and discuss what the B's got in return. We also talk about the Winter Classic logo release, Poitras' inability to not slewfoot and much more. VOICEMAILS. PREDICTIONS. SHORT SIXTY. THIS ONES GOT IT ALL. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.95 - Six of Seven, Half Dozen of the Other | 27 Oct 2022 | 01:20:14 | |
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 Marchand, Carlo, reverse retros. Plus PREDICTIONS, VOICEMAILS, and maybe we'll toss 60 seconds on the clock for good measure. THIS EPISODE IS AT FULL STRENGTH. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.94 - UNSUPERVISED. (Three Outta Four Ain't Bad) | 21 Oct 2022 | 01:08:11 | |
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 early leader in the standings? FIND OUT AND GET IN. | |||
| Ep.93 - Opening Night! | 12 Oct 2022 | 01:18:35 | |
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 Canada can stick it! GET IN! | |||
| Ep.191 - If You Can Bench Pasta.. | 08 Nov 2024 | 01:25:16 | |
Head Coach Jim Montgomery chose to bench David Pastrnak last week and it's opened up a few eyes and a few avenues for discussion. Andrew and Ian opine while Thomas is out partying. GET IN.

| Ep.92 - One Week Out | 05 Oct 2022 | 01:06:44 | |
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 regarding Taylor Hall's injury? Oh and WHY ARE ALL THESE MEDIA OUTLETS PICKING THE BRUINS TO WIN THE ATLANTIC? All this and much more on the ninety-second installment of the Short Shift. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.91 - The Gang Predicts The Cup | 30 Sep 2022 | 01:44:13 | |
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 seeding. Then we take it a step further and predict not only the results of each division -- but the Stanley Cup Champions for the upcoming 2022-23 season. Plus all sorts of random side bets and predictions (serious or not). And lastly, we each give our BOLD TAKE of the year. Remember last year Andrew destroyed himself with Buffalo disrespect? Can he outdo himself? We shall see! This is a fun one. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.90 - Chara Calls It a Career | 23 Sep 2022 | 00:39:30 | |
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 reaction. Plus; camp is here, prospect challenge thoughts, what's Pastrnak going to get, some voicemails, some shoutouts and more. GET IN. | |||

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 yourself a coffee or beer and GET IN. | |||
| Ep.88 - Viva La Dunk | 09 Sep 2022 | 00:48:34 | |
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 capitalism? Thoughts on the massive amount of unsigned RFA's? Is the flat cap is causing havoc for general managers this offseason or is it something more? All that and other untethered Boston Bruins and NHL Hockey talk. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.87 - Ben Coates, Elite Winger. | 01 Sep 2022 | 01:16:35 | |
Aight Folks! On this weeks episode of the Short Shift Podcast, the boys talk about Bruce Cassidy who can't seem to help talking about his former team: your Boston Bruins. Is he becoming a jilted lover? Why is he taking all these Boston media interviews knowing damn well they're going to talk about the same crap each time? Also: Prospect challenge is coming in hot -- who are we looking forward to seeing? PTO season also fast approaching.. is there anybody the B's might be willing to give an invite? Plus: Chara officially retiring? World Cup of Hockey in 2024!? Tage Thompson's contract (lol), and more!

Plus: Temperature check on the Pastrnak extension, Milan Lucic, Zacha at 1LW to start the year, Pooh Bear returning, Kadri to the Flames, Carey Price is done, voicemails, shout outs and much more.

Patrice Bergeron has signed with the Boston Bruins. David Krejci has signed with the Boston Bruins. Pavel Zacha has signed with the Boston Bruins. In this episode we give our immediate reactions to an absolutely monstrous day in the Bruins off-season. Were we expecting this deep of a discount from the veterans? Any surprise by Zacha's term? How much credit does Don Sweeney get for these deals? All that and a whole lot of excitement for the 2022-2023 season. Plus your calls, and OUR call?

We're officially on Bergeron Watch -- and the result of this will absolute dictate not only the summer but the very immediate future of the franchise. Also on the pod: Does this front office have the BALLS to go full rebuild? If so, how do they start? Plus: more NHL awards announced.. do the boys agree? This episode is loaded so grab yourself a coffee or a beer or maybe both and GET IN. | |||
| Ep.77 - Fisting the Gap | 17 Jun 2022 | 01:09:28 | |
Back for Episode 77.. shoutout Ray Bourque, you god damn beauty. In a shocking turn of events, Bruce Cassidy gets a job in 6 days as he signs on to coach the Vegas Golden Knights. The Short Shift boys take a dive into initial reactions, predict how he'll fare, where else he could have gone (spoiler: anywhere he wanted). We touch on the hilarious Torts to Philly news, where Trotz will end up -- and then of course we talk about whats left out there for the Boston Bruins. Does anyone excite us? Does anyone scare us? What does signing certain guys say about the franchises goals for the foreseeable future? All this an more including a quick check on the Chirp Line. GET IN FOLKS. | |||
| Ep.76 - Cassidy Speaks | 10 Jun 2022 | 01:06:05 | |
Another Short Shift?! Yep. Third episode in seven days -- in the offseason no less. This week has just been too damn interesting to not talk about Boston Bruins hockey. Special pinch hitter on this episode as we're joined by Downtown Boosy himself, Mr. Nick Busa who covered for our beloved Low Quality host, Ian. The focus of this epi is obviously Bruce Cassidy's press conference and what we're taking from it. Is his firing becoming more palatable -- or at least the reasoning becoming more clear? Who knows.. but it's time to opine and smash the record button. Speaking of buttons.. you know we gotta hit Boosy with the Short-Sixty! Join us while we try to wrap our head around an unbelievably frustrating week for the B's.. maybe we'll make sense of something.. maybe.. but first you gotta GET IN. | |||
| Ep.75 - Thanks Sweeney | 07 Jun 2022 | 01:00:09 | |
Are we aight folks? Short Shift Podcast back at it again a few days ahead of schedule as news broke late Monday evening that the Boston Bruins have relieved coach Bruce Cassidy of his duties. Initial reaction on twitter was very mixed -- how are the boys feeling? Is this the right call? Did we, like many Bruins fans, read too little into Cam Neely's post season presser when he hinted at coaching changes? Who is available to be the successor? This story no doubt has dimmed the shine of other huge news out of Boston such as surgeries for Bergeron, McAvoy, Grzelcyk, Marchand, and Reilly -- many of whom are going to miss some time including the start of the regular season. So much wonderful news! Well, at least Patrice won his FIFTH Selke.. dear god please let him come back. All this PLUS YOUR VOICEMAILS. GET IN. | |||
| Ep.74 - The Red Dot | 03 Jun 2022 | 01:05:16 | |

Plus; the Bruins have some changes to announce from a coaching standpoint, Brad Marchand has double hip surgery, Pastrnak trolls Krejci and a large portion of the fanbase as well, and the "Unrivaled" doc trailer has us all sorts of hot and bothered. We take a few moments to answer some voicemail as well. Another packed hour of hockey talk and other nonsense. GET IN. | |||

Back for another one. The boys hit on a number of Boston Bruins related topics including the Fluto 'doomsday' article, Cam Neely's presser: is Cassidy safe? Is Sweeney? Is it beyond copium to think as we watch these east playoffs unfold that Boston could have been "the" team? Is that fair to look at? Also: The battle of Alberta is good, the Panthers are not.

| Ep.72 - Post Mortem, On to the Next | 19 May 2022 | 02:02:22 | |
The season has come to an unfortunate end for the 2021-2022 Boston Bruins. After a few days to digest the outcome the boys return to take a look at what went wrong in the pivotal game 7 against the Carolina Hurricanes.. who's to blame? Who gave us everything they had?

| Ep.70 - Bruins on the Ropes | 12 May 2022 | 01:00:12 | |
Are the Boston Bruins a game away from elimination or two games away from glory? Short Shift returns for another episode where the boys break down what they saw in game 5: penalties and poor effort. But mostly penalties. What will it take to take game 6 in Boston besides being just simply being at home? Where is Cassidy's mindset coming off a complete scramble in Carolina? Is he safe?

| Ep.69 - Take Warning | 08 May 2022 | 01:23:45 | |
The 2022 NHL Playoffs have begun and the Bruins definitely got off on the wrong foot with loses in games 1 and 2 that were tough to swallow to say the least. The Short Shift boys break down what they saw that went wrong in the first two games and what went right in their return to home ice for game 3. Who's having a good series? Who is NOT. How is Boston handling the goaltending situation? Should we expect Lindholm back anytime soon? Also -- what have we been right about so far... and more importantly what has Ian been wrong about.

We have watched 82 Boston Bruins games SO FAR. Thats right, there is MORE. It's Stanley Cup Playoff season baby! The Shorty boys give their thoughts on the Boston/Carolina series including players to watch, gamechangers, and their horrible fanbase. Is the regular season dominance a reason to fear the Canes?

The Boston Bruins are on a win streak and getting heathy at what feels like just the right time. On this installment of the Short Shift Podcast the boys discuss the positivity surrounding this team as they head into a first round series with what appears to be the Carolina Hurricanes. Does Reilly play game one? And even before we get there.. Cassidy is “dressing the varsity” for Buffalo but it will look “a lot lighter” against Toronto, right decision? Or should Boston start resting players now with a spot all but on lock? Who's going to be the 7th Player Award winner? Plus some chatter about Zboril's next deal, DeBrusk taking the Masterton, Ullmark and Forbort playing their best hockey respectively, and so much more! A Short-Sixty, plenty of shout outs and thank yous, and one last round of PREDICTIONS as we close out the regular season. We went a little over our time on this one, YOU'RE WELCOME.

| Ep.66 - Playoff Bound | 21 Apr 2022 | 01:16:11 | |
The Boston Bruins have CLINCHED a playoff spot. It's been a long, grinding year but the promise of a post-season has been obtained. What is the best case scenario as far as a first round opponent goes? The boys tackle this as well as topics such as the continued power play woes, continued injury woes.. but also lots of positives! Bruins have ground out dubbs over playoff bound teams, overcome penalty troubles and Swayman busted his slump! Plus a great week down on the farm for prospects like Beecher, Merkulov and (clears throat) a boy named Bussi. PLUS PREDICTIONS and perhaps a bit more smack talking than usual as we're SO CLOSE to crowning a winner. GET IN FOLKS. | |||
| Ep.65 - The Birds and the B's | 14 Apr 2022 | 01:18:30 | |
Another week, another obnoxious loss. The Short Shift boys have taken on the responsibility to quell your concerns and get Bruins fans back on track as we enter the final weeks of the regular season.

Boston goes 3 for 4 but the loss was of course sour one. Are the boys worried about Reilly on the right side, Swayman's struggles, or what about these compounding injuries? How much caution should the Bruins exhibit these final 12 games? Is conceding the 1WC on the table in the name of load management? All this plus an extended bit of predictions including our one-month early NHL Awards. Follow us on twitter @shortshiftpod and give us your feedback!

| Ep.63 - Welcome to BUSSIMANIA | 31 Mar 2022 | 00:54:21 | |
It was a great week until it wasn't. Our Boston Bruins got big wins over the arch-rival Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders only to put forth an uneven and mostly uninspiring effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Was it all bad? Not at all -- and the boys dive into that. Namely: Hampus Lindholm is very, very good. Lot's of other things to discuss on the show including defensive pairings, trades and a little Bussi talk. Plus PREDICTIONS and some fantasy booking of an NHL Wrestlemania featuring all-time enforcers. GET IN. | |||

| Ep.61 - Deadline, Tequila, Red Bull | 18 Mar 2022 | 01:21:34 | |
The deadline is upon us. We're nervous. We're cautiously optimistic. We're mostly pessimistic. On this episode we break down some of the bigger storylines for the Bruins going into Monday's deadline including our final take on what to do with Jake DeBrusk, and who we see as potential targets for Boston. The boys stay loose, particularly Ian who made a bold choice with a tequila & redbull for the recording. All this plus PREDICTIONS and other debauchery.

The Boston Bruins wrapped a highly successful western road trip and one of the highlights has been the third line. The boys discuss what Smith, Frederic and Coyle have accomplished these last few weeks with stick taps to a much maligned Freddy. Hot topics on the episode include DeBrusk's outlook heading into the deadline, who's obtainable at said deadline, blown leads becoming a problem plus PREDICTIONS and a new installment of the SHORT SIXTY.
