Well, folks. We said last week that things would level out and wow.. did they ever. Too much in fact. The surprising euphoria of opening the season with three dubs has come back on us all in humbling fashion as the Boston Bruins have dropped FIVE straight as of recording. No blowouts, no touchdowns put up on us -- but falling short. Consistently. We'll discuss. We'll have your voicemails. We'll make predictions. And yes, we will discuss and summarize our thoughts on the return to Boston of Br...
Aight folks, this team has come out swinging and we might have ourselves a really fun team to watch this year. Look, are they playing above expectations? Yes. Is it okay to be excited? Also yes. Are we a playoff team? Way to early for that talk -- but I will tell you this: we DO look like a team you don't want to run into in the playoffs. Or in a dark alley. PREDICTIONS. VOICEMAILS. CHILDREN SWEARING. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLBruins | OFFICIAL CH...
Aight folks, opening night for your Boston Bruins is upon us. We discuss the opening night roster -- for better or for worse. Were there some snubs? Do we have questions -- and how soon will they be answered? PREDICTIONS are back. Grab a snack-pack and GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Aight folks, the Providence Bruins are out here playing NHL preseason games and we're just enjoying ourselves the best we can. One more week and we're playing real games. Games that count. No captain, but an old captain is back in the fold -- but what will Zdeno Chara's role really be? Also, is Johnny Beecher going to pull off sticking around with this team or are we all set with that? GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLBruins | OFFICIAL CHIRP LINE: (860) ...
You know what's not a 'too early reaction'? Matěj Blümel is making this goddamn team. Also, Johnny Beecher.. might... not. The Boston Bruins are two sloppy and I guess entertaining games into the preseason. We've got opinions, we've got takes. But you know what? We're optimistic. After all, this is a season about rebuilding and establishing the next window, right? “Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” Go B's. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLB...
Aight folks, the season is right on our doorstep and its time to get hyped up, right? We're gonna talk camp, we're gonna talk middle-six, we're gonna even talk about Ian's pride and joy, Dans. Unfortunately we also have to touch on the big (sort of?) news out of Boston this week -- David Pastrnak's tendinitis. We're not worried. We should all be getting our minds on REAL HOCKEY GAMES.. because the preseason starts SUNDAY. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NH...
Aight folks, we're back and we're ready to dive right into the Boston Bruins quest for their 7th Stanley Cup.. or, probably, more realisticaly -- the quest for Gavin McKenna. It's not ALL bad for the B's this season. There are a number of things we'll be watching for and hoping to see out of this transition year under new head coach, Marco Sturm. Join us for two hours of hockey talk where we lay it out there, as we do every year, and expose ourselves to the critique and condemnation for our p...
Back for another offseason episode of the Short Shift. We're officially putting the bow on our FIFTH season with an hour and twenty-or-so minute episode where we probably discuss hockey for 13 minutes total. And somehow we still cover a lot of ground -- perhaps just not the ground you were expecting. Actually, this is probably exactly what you were expecting. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online. Covering all things #NHLBruins | OFFICIAL CHIRP LINE: (860) 506-5444 presented by @Seat...
Aight folks, Andrew and Ian are checking in with plenty to discuss regarding the Hockey Canada resolution (if you can call it that). Where's James Hagens going to land? It's also a great time for a free agency retrospective. Plus other news from around the NHL and YOUR fanmail. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Well, sort of. Thomas' soundboard is back and he took about 10 business days to edit and post this. Offseason mode, folks. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Aight folks, it's been a week since dev camp and a little over that since the draft. We've had plenty of time to digest not only the draft and dev camp -- but digest the beverages and chicken wings consumed post-dev camp. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Another offseason episode of the shorty; Thomas is late to the party but makes sure he shows up to ruin Ian's night. We talk free agency, we talk draft, we talk about the Lohrei extension, we talk uniforms and we talk the hockey hall of fame class of 2025. Couple voicemails, couple innuendos, and mostly hockey talk. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

We're finally here. Here? There? I don't know.. the Stanley Cup Finals are done and we have a repeat on our hands. This one feels different though -- mostly because of Brad Marchand who had a phenomenal performance that has evoked a mix of emotions from many Bruins fans. And if you were unsure about how to feel all you had to do was wait a few hours and read that Trent Frederic got an EIGHT YEAR CONTRACT. Yep.. the offseason is already off the rails. GET IN. Cynically acclaimed. Incredi...
Aight folks, the first big news story of the offseason; The Boston Bruins have introduced their 30th head coach, Marco Sturm. We're here to give our takes as we recap the press conference as well as rate our initial thoughts on the hire in comparison to post-presser. Of course we also have to talk a little bit about the cup finals -- including the game 2 winner by someone named Brad Marchand. Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Aight folks, another offseason episode for the podcast and we greatly appreciate you all for sticking with us through the playoffs. Alas, we have reached the cup finals and we're -- excited? Maybe? There's some storylines in this matchup for sure when it comes to the Boston Bruins with Marchand and Frederic. But there's more in the news cycle -- like the false alarm on the head coaching search. We fully expect a new bench boss to be announced during this cup. Will it be Marco Sturm? Cyn...
By popular demand, and since the Bruins are a dead franchise now, Andrew, Ian and Thomas have decided to go full furry. Meet their new fursonas and explore a whole new world of post-Bruins hockey. Watch as Andrew becomes enamored with Blades in a way he before thought possible. Thrill as Ian... Cynically acclaimed. Incredibly online.

Today we turn back the clock and look back at our predictions we made before the 2024-2025 season, and it ain't exactly pretty. A couple we just about nailed, but many, many others... well. We aren't perfect but we aren't afraid to wear it when needed. We also dive into other timely matters such as a certain coach hired by Anaheim. TRIGGER WARNING regarding SA and similar/adjacent acts of violence. If you want to skip passed that -- shuffle ahead in the episode once you hear the name "Joel Qu...

Sure, the playoffs are fun, but have you tried naming 10 head coaching candidates for the Boston Bruins? Have you gone back and looked at your pre-season predictions and made yourself look like a choade (otherwise known as a "Tocchet")? Well, we do both. Or at least try to. Cynically acclaimed.
