The relationship between hockey player and media member is often fraught, no matter how hard both sides work. The reasons are fairly obvious. The athlete knows he's going to be asked questions he may not want to hear or answer for fear of landing in trouble, even if the original topic seems benign. The reporter is looking to pry information from the athlete -- either a good quote on tape, or insight into what's going on inside the room. .
