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 is not). PLUS: the Bruins sign a handful of college players, Conor McDavid inches closer to 100 assists on the season, George Parros meal preps, and your voicemails! GET IN.

Low Qual returns from Thailand, the Boston Bruins hit a skid and still clinch, and the discord is becoming all powerful. Andrew and Ian kick off the show and cover much ground, pay some bills, and wait in agony to see if Thomas makes it home in time to join the pod and share some voicemails. GET IN.

Thomas is back, Ian is engaged, Andrew is lonely on the discord. All good things. Van Alan joins us to discuss the recent stretch of what may just be the best bit of hockey we've seen out of the Boston Bruins all season. Are they hitting their stride at the perfect time? Who's in net come playoff time? Is Bill Daly the dumbest f--- on earth? VOICEMAILS (kinda), PREDICTIONS (abandoned), AND MORE. GET IN.

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.

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. The B's wrap a long, troublesome post-break homestand and head out west to take on a few dangerous opponents. They're bringing Mason Lohrei with them, so thats good. We talk about the issues the team have had over the last week+ and what the temperature of the team is going forward at least in the immediate future. Also, you know we're going to take a few jabs at Morgan Reilly and the Maple Leafs, right? VOICEMAILS ARE BACK. PREDICTIONS ARE USELESS. GET IN.

"Alright Shorties". Sorry, Thomas is absent for this one celebrating the brides day of birth. Lots to cover here for Andrew and Ian including this dry, flaccid spell of Boston Bruins Hockey. And Lucic. And more. Please, let there be more. GET IN.

This All-Start break doesn't move me, but there's still plenty to talk about. Does the Elias Lindholm deal set the market? Is Ian ready to give Morgan Geekie his flowers? Who's the biggest surprise so far this season? Who's the biggest disappointment? Does Thomas or Andrew stand a chance to climb back into the race for the predictions? Does anyone know who this Shorsey caller is? GET IN.

Another episode of the Short Shift Podcast, another dubaroni and cheese for Ian on predictions. More importantly; THE BOSTON BRUINS ARE MURDERING EVERYONE. B's are on a hot streak and even some debatable personnel choices are looking like the right calls. Well, Forbort has been cheeks but that could be for any number of reasons, rust not withstanding. We talk Lohrie and Beecher to Providence, Poitras and Carlo's return to health, Roy being named HC on the Isle and somehow funnier -- Ryan Reeves calling out his own team. PREDICTIONS. VOICEMAILS. GET IN.

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 didn't get punched? VOICEMAILS. PREDICTIONS. GET IN.
