Still undefeated in regulation, the Boston Bruins take their nine-game point streak to start the season into arguably their biggest test thus far; The Toronto Maple Leafs, specifically without the services of Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk. We discuss the defensive shuffling that is and will be happening, Poitras staying put, the Heinen signin' and much more. PLUS: PREDICTIONS, VOICEMAILS and a SHORT SIXTY. GET IN.

Aight folks, the west coast swing is wrapped minus a pit stop in Chicago. The Boston Bruins remain undefeated thanks to phenomenal goaltending and timely scoring -- including not one but two from Matthew Poitras on Sunday night in Anaheim. We take a look at who this team really is. What identity are they forging? Also, how is Thomas this good at predictions? Does Ian really need more than 2 hours of sleep to survive? How good is Detroit and Vegas -- and more importantly how bad is Carolina? Plus YOUR VOICEMAILS, PREDICTIONS and MORE. GET IN.

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 to treat him? We have plenty to review on this episode including but not limited to REVIEWING ACTUAL REGULAR SEASON GAMES. PLUS: PREDICTIONS, VOICEMAILS. The Season is ON and we're smelling W's! GET IN.

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). We predict divisions, conference champions, cup winners, individual awards, and make a ton of bold claims that we are now documented and will be used against one another for MONTHS. Get hyped about the Bruins season and league-wide! HOCKEY IS BACK. GET IN.

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 back on saddle with regards to voicemails and dm's as well. Lots to cover, and Ian will tell you where to finish.. GET IN.

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 Shift content. Stick taps to Andrew who played sick on this one. GET IN.

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 on todays episode, but the focus belongs to the captain. This ones for Patrice. 37, Forever. GET IN.

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 Frederic and Swayman to go to arbitration? PLUS: Whats the worst team name in the league? What B's trading cards would you want from the 91-92 season? And many more hard-hitting middle of summer hockey topics. GET IN.
