His "meaningless responses" are all that he owes to us. We shouldnt expect him to bare his soul. Just be thankful that he gives you a smile and a polite response at all.

Not at all, don't exaggerate. Why sould I be thankful to him? His way of life, wealth and celebrity status are all paid for by the hockey fans. He is good at what he does and gets paid accordingly. However; the celebrity status comes with a huge burden of social responsibilities. I believe that one of those responsibilities is being genuinely thankful to the fans. Not just a tired and fake polite smile but a sincere thankfulness. Kipper and Warrener didn't invite me to their summer houses but my short encounters with them have been nothing but cordiality, sincerity and good laughs; in short, great memories to share with other fans. Encounter with Iginla was none of the above.
