Some peoples' hockey opinions are pretty damned unbelievable, and are often expressed as if they were obvious.

I mean - and I suspect this has something to do with your view here - I pretty assertively disagreed with you about Stralman as a hockey player, because your perspective was essentially the opposite of what I perceive to be reality. In doing so, I attacked your idea rather than you, and supported mine with an argument and some evidence. That seems to me to be a much more positive contribution to the discourse than someone just spouting off without any basis for or knowledge of what they speak, even if they do so in a pleasant and cheerleader-like manner.

I mean, if you were having a conversation about, say, the benefits of living in Calgary vs. Winnipeg, and someone chimed in "but Winnipeg is larger and warmer than Calgary", would your reaction not be something along the lines of a shocked "what the hell are you even talking about?"
