Short Shift Podcast

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 soon. Plus; YOU'RE VOICEMAILS ARE BACK. GET IN.

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.

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.

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, ...

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.

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 E...

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 CONTAC...

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 of things. Plus your VOICEMAILS, our PREDICTIONS, and much more. GET IN.
