Legendary Thursday

The Pucking Files is proud to announce that our new editor & chief will be William MacDognutz. "Willie Mac" as his colleges refer to him has worked at the highest level of journalism for many years. Last year he joined The Pucking Files at the request of Moe Rudz. MacDognutz covered the CCHL brilliantly. His creativity was highly regarded by Moe who once referred to "Willie Mac" as "the future of journalism". With Moe's unexpected departure from The Pucking Files, new publisher Mr. Hirohito Moto (pictured below) looked for someone to run his new media empire. While cleaning out Moe's desk, Mr. Moto found papers that praised MacDognutz for his journalism skills. He decided that if Moe felt this strongly about MacDognutz then it would make perfect sense to hire him as the new editor and chief. "Willie Mac" is scheduled to appear on "Larry King Live or Dead" next week. MacDognutz will take over the reins on the 20th of september. One other item of interest that Mr. Moto found in Moe's desk was the list announcing the 2014 inductees into The Legends of Thursday Night Hockey Hall of Fame. Much anticipated, fans of the NAHL will be pleased to know that the newest members of the Legends are as follows: In the "Coaching" category is legendary coach Gary "Toe" Blake. The all time leader in wins, games coached and championships, "Toe" Blake guided the legendary Green team during their glory years as the pinnacle of the NAHL excellence. In the "Brothers" category is the dynamic duo brother act known collectively as "The Philbys". Todd and Tom Philbrick have accounted for more points than any other brother tandem in NAHL history. They have played on numerous NAHL championship teams and they were instrumental in helping the Budmen win a Hobey Stick at the 2012 Black Ice Championship. The 1rst goalie to be selected to the Legends Hall is Brian "Smitty" Smith. He owns the best save percentage ever recored in a season in NAHL history. "Smitty" pioneered the kick save which is now a standard practice used by all goalies. The other inductees to the 2014 Legends are Andy "BTO" Bachman, Ryan "Silky" Brandt, Tom "Shemp" Champagne and Tom "Painch" Painchaud. They will be inducted into the Hall in October.

Heads Up

Reports have been circulating that former publisher Moe Rudz was killed by head hunters in Borneo. Moe Rudz sold his controlling shares of The Pucking Files earlier this summer to pursue a career in etymology. He headed to Borneo to start a new life. It appears that his life has been cut short by a head hunter. Adventurer Montana Johnson made contact with the Watdafuka tribe in the jungles of Borneo. They showed Johnson a shrunken head believed to be that of Moe Rudz. Johnson purchased the artifact for a pair of tweezers and a George Brett baseball card. He brought the head back to England where it is being examined by experts from the Royal Academy of Asswipes.

Moe's brother Mark told The Pucking Files that he lost all contact with Moe in early July. "Moe no longer picks up my phone calls or returns my emails. I begun to think that foul play was involved. It just wasn't like Moe not to call", he said. Doctors at the Academy believe that it could be Moe, but, no exact identification has been made thus far. Everyone in the hockey world is holding their collective breath. Is this the last we'll hear from Moe? Is it curtains for Moe Rudz? Stayed tuned. In other news; Dan Early was traded to Green. It is the 92nd time in his career that he has played for Green. Also, it is being reported that Dave Masinek is STILL missing!
