Ep.77 - Fisting the Gap

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.76 - Cassidy Speaks

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.70 - Bruins on the Ropes

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.

Ep.67 - The Beej Button

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.64 - Ian is Dobby

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.
