Sheldon Keefe immediately protecting his ego and distancing himself from the team, Monty pushing the right buttons and coming through, the silence of Maple Leaf Square. Let's all bask in this one fo…

Thomas bailed and the kids are running the show. Andrew and Ian discuss process over results; 9 game stretch against all playoff teams: 5-4-0... absolute stinker against Carolina notwithstanding. What are you taking from the totality of this run? Are we past the point of “let Swayman play out of it” and having Ullmark in pen GM1? Are you ready to d…

Full roster for this episode, and Thomas is.. optimistic? Ullmark has pulled away as the number one heading into the playoffs, but will they ride him or are we still looking at a tandem in round one? We also discuss who sits and who stays for the defense when the time comes. Is Lohrie better off in Providence for the AHL playoffs? (spoiler, no he i…

Low Qual returns from Thailand, the Boston Bruins hit a skid and still clinch, and the discord is becoming all powerful.

The Boston Bruins keep blowing it, bouncing back the next night, and then blow it again. At least Andrew has the guts to lose predictions and stick to it night after night. At a historic pace I might add. PLUS: The deadline is gonna kill me, our voicemails keep getting weirder, and much more. GET IN. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphon…

Well, officially since the 9-0-1 start, the Bruins have a raw win/loss record of exactly .500 (25-12-13). Boston continues their stretch of mediocre play but are still getting points.. loser points, but points none the less. There are reasons, but are there solutions? Monty -- whatcha got my dude? VOICEMAILS. PREDICTIONS (for some reason). GET IN. …

We're back to full strength on the pod, and the Bruins are back in the win column. Coincidence? Yes. By definition, yes.

We talk about the issues the team have had over the last week+ …

There's no denying it; Jeremy Swayman is an All-Star and a stud. The Boston Bruins need to start talking extension -- and so do we. We also need to acknowledge how strange the last two weeks have been in terms of the consecutive OT losses. Bruins are on a point streak? Parker Wotherspoon deserves his flowers? Andrew went to a game with Thomas and d…

And you know where gonna do PREDICTIONS, VOICEMAILS and much…

Aight folks, we gotta address the Monty/Poitras stuff. What's Jim Montgomery's angle here and does the Short Shift panel agree with how its being handled, or at the very least how its being portrayed outside of the locker room. We also have to talk about the injuries, the logical (and emotionally irresponsible) replacement ideas. How much time is Z…

Three game win streak -- the reverse episode worked. YOU'RE WELCOME. Brad Marchand gets moved off his line and proceeded to absolutely explode for 4 consecutive unblemished and big goals.

Also in this episode we address the developing Milan Lucic situation, Mason Lohrei's standing within the organizati…

An episode to break up the "bye week" for you. Too long of a layoff for our liking so why not talk a little Jake DeBrusk, San Jose, Vancouver and other NHL topics that have been occupying space in our collective minds over the last week or two. A couple more voicemails as well since you guys just keep calling. I'm kidding of course. Do it. Our CHIR…

Andrew returns to tout a triumphant half-victory in predictions, but also discuss the trade speculation floating around that needs to be addressed and swiftly cut down.

Two games in and this team is undefeated, stop the count! Your Boston Bruins are in the midst of a bye week which is obnoxious at best.. and they're heading out west to knock off a few road stops in San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim. This roadie will be a big test for the youth, namely Matthew Poitras. Will he stick? How is 2nd line minutes going t…

The episode we've been preparing to do all off-season! Over two hours of predictions, hot takes, face smacks of reality, hopes, dreams, and a ton of ripping on our beloved Andrew (sorry Andrew).

Aight folks! Plenty to discuss regarding the preseason performances of Mason Lohrei, Fabian Lysell, Frederic, Bussi, etc etc. Oh and you know damn well we have to talk about Matthew Poitras. Has this kid cemented a stint with the big club to start the season? We break that down and even put some percentages on what we think will shake out. We get b…

We've witnessed sixty minutes of Boston Bruins hockey, and preseason at that, but we're already wading through all the overreactions and ill-informed 'trade Ullmark' takes. Brandon Bussi was as phenomenal as could be, Poitras had an excellent pro debut, Beecher waved hello at Ian. Hockey is so back, and so are we with another power hour of Short Sh…

An episode we all knew was coming. The Short Shift Podcast crew gives our immediate thoughts and feelings on the retirement announcement of Patrice Bergeron. We are joined by many of our listeners by way of voicemail and DM and for that we are thankful. What is next for the franchise remains to be seen -- and we'll start to turn over those stones o…

60 some-odd days away from real hockey. Just keep telling yourself that. That said, there's still plenty for this team to resolve from a contract and roster standpoint -- including the elephant in the room, the captain, Patrice Bergeron. Anyways, the Boston Bruins did make some transactional news this week between Lauko and Boqvist. Do we expect Fr…

Calgary is hilarious, Hall Of …

Short Shift's don't stop because there's never a shortage of actual Bruins news to report.. however SOME writers need to pull completely insane clickbait out of their geriatric anal cavity to justify their check from beyond the paywall. I digress. Are any of the trade suggestions floating around twitter even entertainable at this stage? NHL offseas…

Exactly 50 episodes ago we did a post mortem on last years team, and here we are. This one hurts, folks. No sugar coating it. What went wrong? Who is to blame? Honestly who is absolved of blame -- is anybody? Bruins and Bruins fans are taking this one on the chin and there's no getting around it. This episode is for the folks who are holding their …

The series is headed back to Boston with the Bruins holding a 3-1 lead. No Bergeron yet, and missing Krejci lately as well. Ullmark seems to be battling something and he's still playing as well as you'd hope. The question is --- will they close it out Wednesday night? Thomas, Ian and Andrew give their thoughts on the series to this point and much m…
