"Weir was classy and honest throughout his trip through the mixed zone Thursday.

None of the questions were easy. But one wasn't necessary."

FYI, the "mixed zone" is right where the athletes come off the ice. They have a pen for the reporters to stand in and shout questions, and the skater stays as long as they like and answers them. It's not as formal as the press conference after the event and the reporters don't identify themselves like they do at a press conference.
