Those kind of cheap drive-by lines do seem to generate thanks clicks, though, so I guess you're getting the pats on the back you set out for.

Everyone knows I'm smug and arrogant, that's why I can recognize it so easily!
The loudest voices, and even a founding guy like mudcrutch79 are supremely arrogant, this isn't new information and I'm not the first to say so. Even you yourself come across as a little smarmy saying that you want an intellectual discussion about hockey, almost suggesting that analytics is the only way to do so.
As for the thanks part at the end, ha. There was a time on Calgarypuck when thanks didn't exist and anyone from around that time would say I haven't changed much, I'm probably less of a jerk now. But I'm super handsome make funny jokes, so women and men alike fawn to me, like a moth to a Flames, like a cheetah pouncing on the proverbial juicy rabbit.
