His favorite memory is SCF game 7. Very creative choice.
PK time.
Maybe I'm a moron but I'm surprised to learn that PNC has an organist. I don't think I've ever noticed it.
That guy's such a tool for being honest.
He's not a tool, it's just a pretty boring answer. Chantel should have asked a question with a much more interesting answer- real news people usually do pre-interviews for exactly that reason, especially on short segments like that one. You want to make sure that when you only have time for one or two questions, you're getting interesting stuff out of your interviewee. Otherwise the segment is just going to be wasted time.

I looked at the segment as just a nice way to give someone who goes completely unnoticed on TV a little face time as a way of introduction. Like was mentioned, some don't even know there is an organist. I don't really think Chantel needs to ask anything but a softball question for that type of thing to the guy. I mean, we're talking about a few seconds of filler and the organist.
JR must have told Tripp to speak critically of Semin. Hes been doing it a lot tonight.
Doesn't have to be a tough question, just something with a little more interesting an answer. You can get some nice face time for the guy and give the viewer something interesting at the same time, but it takes doing your homework first. Incidentally, setting the guy up to say something interesting will also make the TV viewers think more highly of him- he'll come off as interesting rather than, 'hey, that's the guy plays the music. Okay.'
John, Tripp, and presumably Chantel spend all day talking to the players and coaches of both teams in advance of a game. Presumably she knew this interview was coming- she should have had a conversation, found an interesting anecdote or perspective, and asked him about that.
