Nothing, including neutrinos, can avoid falling into a black hole once it has passed through the black hole's event horizon. However, it IS possible for an object to orbit a black hole as long as its point of nearest approach lies outside the black hole's event horizon.
I do not understand Dr. Gay's assertion that "Neutrinos go through material in general, but if something has enough gravity (like a blackhole) even neutrinos come to a grinding halt." Where do they come to a grinding halt? Inside the black hole? At the event horizon? Somewhere else? If so, where? I believe that neutrinos fall into black holes just as readily as any other objects once they pass through the event horizon.
