Mr. Duhatscek is a shill for the NHL, but is so full of himself, there is a pretty good chance he doesn't even know it.

As such, He is much better suited for being 1 of the 3 Stooges.  Nobody much like Shemp, Joe Besser, and all the rest who failed at replacing Curly.

Now, there is a new contestant, Eric Duhatschek.  He's no Curly Joe, but given his adoring prose and swooning admiration of Mr. Bettman, he fits.
