Video #21479 · Interview Q&A
Players answer penalty box questionfrom @stlouisblues
[01]
Overview
An off-camera interviewer asks various St. Louis Blues hockey players a two-part question about their manners. First, the interviewer asks if the players say thank you when someone opens a door for them, establishing a baseline where most players agree they do. Then, the interviewer delivers the punchline question, asking if they say thank you to the penalty box worker who opens the door for them during a game. The video cuts rapidly between the athletes as they provide humorous, candid, and slightly guilty responses, with most admitting they are usually too angry in the moment to remember their manners.
