Survey Says: Guilty pleasure TV?

A lot of people aren't too proud of some of the TV shows they may watch, whether it's some bad reality show or a teen drama.

I wanted to know what Penguins players' guilty pleasure TV shows were for this Survey Says, and it turns out there's a lot of reality TV fans in the locker room (or now formerly of the locker room, in the case of some of the recently-traded). Here's what they all said.

Owen Pickering: I love "Gossip Girl." I'm so into it right now. I started two weeks ago and I'm two seasons in. It's so good.

Matt Grzelcyk: "Love Island," but the U.K. version. My girlfriend started watching it, and it's one of those where you don't want to admit, in the background, but then you start asking questions a little bit. Then I just watched the whole season. That's one I hate to admit.

P.O Joseph: "Gossip Girl" is great. "90210," "Californication," "Entourage," those are just some.

Marcus Pettersson: You know, I do watch "Love Island." My wife has probably watched "One Tree Hill" 100 times, I have watched that with her. So maybe "One Tree Hill" or "Love Island." We also watch "Paradise Hotel," a show in Sweden.

Sidney Crosby: I don't watch any reality TV at all, I barely watch shows. I don't have any guilty pleasure ones.

Drew O'Connor: I don't like the reality ones as much, I'll watch once in awhile. Probably "New Girl." If I need something to watch, I'll throw "New Girl" on for a couple episodes.

Sam Poulin: I'm watching "One Tree Hill" right now. I'm not obsessed with it yet, but it might become like that.

Vincent Desharnais: I really like the comfort shows like "The Office," "Friends," all those shows I can binge watch over and over again. I know all the seasons.

Ryan Graves: I used to like "The Bachelor," but I haven't watched that in years. I actually like "Big Brother", too. But the ones now are trash, like "Love Island" and those ones. No good. I liked "One Tree Hill."

Bryan Rust: "Friends." It's on Nick at Night still, for like three hours a night. It's played on repeat basically every night.

Phil Tomasino: I'm not into that stuff, reality TV, you know? Honestly, I don't have one. I'm a very serious TV show critic. I don't have a stupid one. I watched "Too Hot to Handle," the first season. Didn't watch it after, so I wouldn't even consider that a guilty pleasure.

Matt Nieto: I'm watching "Love Is Blind" right now, that's it right now.

Boko Imama: "South Park." Just a nice little background show that I like to have on.

Joel Blomqvist: One of those "Love Island" shows back home, or something. I've watched a season.

Jesse Puljujarvi: (Equipment manager Jon Taglianetti chimes in, 'He watches the Mormon wives show.') NO! I don't have any.  

Kris Letang: Does it have to be tacky? "Lucifer."

Tristan Jarry: Probably "Yellowstone," or any murder mystery show. I watch a lot of those on the plane.

Blake Lizotte: It's not really guilty pleasure, but I'd say "Friday Night Lights."

Alex Nedeljkovic: I used to watch "The Bachelor." Maybe "How I Met Your Mother." My wife's into that Vanderpump show. 

Jack St. Ivany: Oh, "Gossip Girl." We watched it in college, like all our roommates did. We acted like we hated it but I loved it. It was a great show.

Kevin Hayes: I don't watch it anymore, but my favorite show growing up was "One Tree Hill."

Noel Acciari: "Below Deck," all the charter ships and sailing.

Valtteri Puustinen: I watch so many Finnish TV shows, not much from the U.S. or Canada. One Finnish TV show, I've been watching all my life. It stared in 1999, and I've been watching it maybe 20-something years -- It's "Salatut elämät" (a Finnish soap opera that translates as "Secret Lives")

Anthony Beauvillier: "How I Met Your Mother," and "One Tree Hill."

Rickard Rakell: I watch "Paradise Hotel" right now. It's a Swedish reality show kind of like "Love Island."

Ryan Shea: I have seen "Love Island" a couple of times, it's so catchy. At first I watched it because I thought it was kind of crazy, the whole concept of it. But it's actually catchy.

Cody Glass: "Gossip Girl" is a big one. I've been grinding "How I Met Your Mother." And "Ted Lasso" is always a feel-good one.

Michael Bunting: I was actually huge into "Love Island" in Toronto, a lot of us would watch that. I'm kind of off of it now. But you know what? The last one I watched was "Love is Blind."

Erik Karlsson: I watch all of them. "Love Island," "The Challenge" is really good. I stopped watching "The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette," I'm over it.

tanger watching lucifer and erik watching ALL the reality tv shows is so on brand

Being Sidney Crosby's Controversially Young Girlfriend

"Controversial" isn't quite the word he likes to use to describe our age difference. It's significant, sure, but he's never felt that it's been a major factor in your relationship. Sure, some people might raise an eyebrow at the fact that he's older and you're younger, but it hasn't really come up much.

That being said, there are a few quirks that come with your age difference. For one thing, you're in different stages of life. You just finished college and is starting out in the professional world, whereas he's well-established in his career and is thinking about retirement.

Another difference is your social lives. You've got a circle of friends who are in their early twenties and just starting to explore the world, whereas he's been there and done that. He's got friends his own age who have families and careers and responsibilities. It can be a bit of a culture shock at times, but it also adds an interesting dynamic to your relationship.

There are also practical differences. He's got a lot more life experience than you do, which can sometimes lead to a bit of a generational gap. He might recommend a restaurant that was the coolest place in town when he was your age, only to find that it's been replaced by a new hotspot that he'd never heard of.

Similarly, he might make a reference to a movie or a book that he watched or read when he was your age, only to find that you've never seen or heard of it.

But despite the differences, he still finds himself drawn to you. He loves your youthful energy, your adventurous spirit, and the way you see the world. Your age difference doesn't define your relationship, but it does add an extra layer of complexity and excitement.

Of course, there are also some benefits to having an older boyfriend. For one thing, he's typically more mature and stable, which can be refreshing. He's more likely to have a solid career and financial situation than someone your own age. He also has more life experience, so he tends to be more confident and stable. Plus, he's had more time to figure out what he wants in life and in a partner, which can be reassuring for you.

One of the biggest challenges of your age difference is the inevitable scrutiny from the public and the media. As a celebrity athlete, he's used to being under a microscope, but the fact that you're so much younger has brought an extra level of attention to your relationship. People are always speculating about how you met, what you see in each other, and whether or not your relationship is "appropriate."

It can be tough dealing with that kind of scrutiny, especially when it feels like your relationship is being judged based on superficial factors like age.

Another challenge is that you might find yourself facing different societal expectations and biases. For example, people might assume that he's in a position of power and has a lot of control over you because he's older and more established. They might also assume that you're with him for his fame and fortune, rather than for his personality and character.

Dates are an interesting challenge. He's been around the block and has been on plenty of dates before. He knows all the classic dating moves like taking you to a fancy restaurant or a romantic movie. But sometimes he feels like he's a little out of his depth when it comes to planning dates that you'll enjoy.

You're younger and have different interests and tastes, so he has to be more creative and thoughtful in his planning. Sometimes he tries to research the latest trends and what's popular among people your age, but other times he just goes with his gut instinct.

Affection is an area where your age difference really comes into play. He's used to showing affection in a physical way, like hugs and kisses and cuddling. But he knows that you're at a different stage of your life, and he wants to be respectful of your boundaries. He doesn't want to come on too strong or make you feel uncomfortable, so he treads carefully.

He shows affection in less obvious ways. He'll take the time to listen to you and really hear what you're saying. He'll give you little gifts or leave you notes with sweet messages. He'll hold your hand or wrap his arm around you when you're walking together. He'll make a point of doing small things to make your day better, like bringing you coffee in the morning or fixing you a snack when you're hungry. And when you're together, he'll constantly be touching you in some way: holding your hand, running his fingers through your hair, kissing your forehead, etc.

He's a natural leader and tends to take charge in most situations, so he often shows casual dominance without even realizing it. He might make decisions for you without asking, or he might order for you at a restaurant if you can't decide what to get. He'll also often take the lead in physical situations, like pulling you closer to him when you're sitting next to each other or grabbing your hand to guide you through a crowded room.

He'll also often use his body language to show dominance. He'll stand close to you when you're talking, or he'll lean in to whisper something in your ear. He might also put his arm around you in a possessive way or rest his hand on your thigh.

One of his favorite expressions of casual dominance is telling you what to wear. He'll suggest outfits for you to wear on dates or to parties, and he'll make comments about your appearance when you're getting ready. He'll tell you how good you look in something or how he prefers you in certain types of clothes.

He doesn't see himself as a sugar daddy, per se, but he does enjoy treating you to nice things and spoiling you with gifts and experiences. He likes to feel like he can provide for you and make you happy, and he's not afraid to spend money to do so.

He'll often take you shopping and encourage you to buy whatever you want, even if it's something expensive or extravagant. He'll also bring you to nice restaurants and book you for activities like spa days or concerts. He'll even use his connections to get you access to exclusive events or experiences that you wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

In the end, though, he knows that age is just a number. What really matters is the connection you share, that bond that transcends age and experience and all the other things that could otherwise divide you. And that's worth more than any arbitrary age difference.

Illicit Affairs- Chapter 4

Series Masterlist

Layla joins Sidney on a dinner with Nate and his date and all seems well until an awkward conversation she has with Sidney comes up after pushing it aside for years all while things get steamy with Nate once again leaving her with more questions. Enjoy and let me know thoughts 💙

(And in case it’s not like obvi lol, this is a fic where there will be smut like every chapter so beware of that lol)

If there was one thing Layla hated, it was when women were idiots. Plain and simple. And by the looks of it Nate’s date was a total dud but this time Layla didn’t mind. So far Madeline was nice and seemed to make conversation. She was quite pretty with the typical look most men liked, medium length blonde hair that needed a toner and a nice body. She was any hockey players dream by most standards “So Madeline” Layla said as they sat at the bar together while Nate and Sidney chatted a few seats away “How did you and Nate meet ?” “Tinder” she responded with a grin  “Not anything romantic like you and Sidney” “Please” Layla chuckled “He interrupted my dinner while I was trying to study some notes for one of my classes” “Do you care that he’s older than you ?” Madeline asked suddenly “You’re mine and Nate’s age, you’re in your 20’s while he’s nearing 40” That question had been asked to her so many times before that at this point it was so rehearsed she had it memorized down to the fake laugh and stupid smile she would give “Of course not” Layla smiled softly “I know maybe 9 years can be a lot for people but I don’t see it like that at all. I always knew I’d be a young mother and wife and what better partner than him” she clinked her martini glass with hers “I’m so lucky to have him, I truly am” It was complete and utter bullshit but Madeline seemed to buy it thankfully. Layla talked with her some more and learned she was a pilates instructor and a volunteer at her local animal shelter. At least she worked and if she was honest, she did seem like a sweet person “So” Madeline leaned in “Tell me the truth…is he still you know…” “Are you asking me if my husband still fucks me ?” Layla asked “You said it not me” she giggled The question was comical in a way, Layla simply sipped her martini and smirked “I wouldn’t be with him if he didn’t now would I” “Then do you mind giving me some tips ?” Madeline asked quietly “Nate….he’s….I just…” “What’s wrong with you and Nate ?” Layla asked feigning concern 

“We’ve only been seeing each other for about 4 months or so but we’ve only slept together a handful of times and…it hasn’t been that good” she admitted to her “I feel really good and he finishes me off but he just doesn’t seem all that interested” “You need to take charge is all” Layla answered with a wink “Maybe he likes more aggression or physicality or even dirty talk. Some men really like that” “Aggression ?” Madeline asked “You mean like…choking or slapping ? Isn’t that like BDSM ?” It took everything in her not to laugh but still she continued “Not like to hurt him of course but you know maybe just a little choking when you’re on top or a light love tap to get him to look at you. It won’t hurt to try, you know ? Take control of it a bit and if he doesn’t like it just say you wanted to switch it up. I mean you deserve better, look at you. You’re so pretty” Layla smiled at her “You’re right” Madeline nodded “Won’t hurt to try it out”

“Come on, I think our tables are ready” she stood up and motioned to the more private side of the restaurant . She walked to Sidney’s side and kissed his cheek “You look tired”

“I am” he admitted “Hopefully we can make this dinner a short one and head back to the room” “You have something you need to do for me anyway” she reminded him with a kiss to his lips Sidney chuckled “How could I forget” Layla smiled at him when he took her chair out for her and scooted her in. If there was one thing about Sidney it was that sure, maybe he was oblivious, but he was a gentleman and she appreciated it. She was about to look at the menu when she noticed Madeline standing while Nate simply took a seat and began looking through it with no care Clearing her throat she kicked his shin with her heel causing him to glare at her “That was my leg not your husband’s” he looked at her 

“Stand up and open her chair for her you neanderthal” she muttered back

Begrudgingly she watched him throw his lap napkin on the table and stand up and open Madeline’s chair for her, scooting her in “I didn’t know we were in the 1800’s” Nate said “Sorry Madeline”

“Not everyone can be a gentleman” Layla laid her hand on top of Sidney’s, his wedding band and her wedding ring shining on the reflection of their silverware “So you have 3 kids right ?” Madeline asked “Correct” Sidney grinned at her “We have 3 sons”

Layla nodded “Rowan,Patrick and Troy. They’re 2 and half, one and a half and 8 months old” “Wow’ Madeline looked at her in shock “You had 3 babies back to back, you look amazing. How did you do it ?” She shrugged “I just did it, but I don’t recommend it, Takes a toll on lots of things and quite frankly I’m still recovering”

 “I can tell” Sidney muttered under his breath

Layla caught the comment and felt her insides burn, he was just as aware as she was and despite that he still did nothing to help. If it hadn’t been for the fact that they were in such a public restaurant and with other people she would’ve made a scene but instead she simply squeezed his thigh with her hand. A movement that had Sidney glare at her as he sipped his wine She stared at him while clearing her throat, “What I mean is just make sure you do what you want to do in life before you decide to do something big like welcoming a child into the world. It’s important you feel fulfilled as a person before hand” she spoke “Educate yourself, travel the world, know who you are and then decide if it’s something you really wanna do. There isn’t one day where I don’t think about the what if’s. I love my children and I greatly appreciate my life, I am very privileged and I don’t take that for granted but I do think what would have happened had I waited”

“I feel like you’re way more mature than I am” Madeline said softly “You’re smart, you’re educated…you have a nice life and kids. I wouldn’t ever think someone like you would have any regrets” “At some point in life we all do” Layla responded quietly

Dinner was awkward the rest of the time, the more Layla watched Nate the more she wanted to punch him. Actually at this rate, she was ready to punch Sidney and Nate, both for totally different reasons. Sidney for being himself and Nate for pushing every single one of her buttons that night with the touches under the table or winks sent her way when Sidney and Madeline weren’t looking. By the end of the meal she was more than ready to leave

She hugged Madeline a quick goodbye and walked out with Sidney as they walked back to the elevator to their room. Silence soon filling the space between them as they stood on opposite sides while it slowly went up to their floor “Do you like me ?” Sidney asked, breaking the ice Layla sighed “I don’t wanna do this tonight, I really don’t” “Please answer my question” he said “I wouldn’t marry someone I didn’t like Sidney” Layla answered “I wouldn’t have children with someone I don’t like. I wouldn’t uproot my life for someone I didn’t like. Does that answer your question for you ?” “Your comments at dinner, it just seems like you resent me” Sidney admitted “I don’t understand why” “It was just that” she answered back “Some comments, don’t make it more than what it was” “All I wanted was you, I saw you that day eating dinner alone and knew I needed you in my life” he looked at her “I couldn’t let you go, I just couldn’t. I knew if you left that I’d never see you again and I just couldn’t have that Layla, I wasn’t going to lose the one person that had understood me in such little time. I wasn’t going to lose the love of my life to some job in Europe” “Just stop” she met his eyes “It’s done and over with and I made that choice and that’s all okay. I’m with you, I’m a mom and it’s all worked out Sidney” “And you don’t regret it ?” he asked “Do you regret giving it up for me, for us ?” Just as she was about to answer, the elevator door opened and she took it as a chance to change the conversation and kissed him “You know I don't regret a thing, I love you so much” she cuddled into his side “Even when you make me mad, I can’t get enough of you” “I love you more” Sidney kissed her back “It’s early…” he opened the door to their room “And you look so so sexy in this dress”

When it was all done she laid by his side as he kissed her shoulder “I miss the boys” she admitted “how come no one’s called or texted us ?”

“I told my sister to only reach out for emergencies” Sidney confessed Layla sighed as she sat up “I guess that’s understandable, Rowan and Patrick would have just asked when we were coming back and cried” “See ?” he grinned “I did something that helped” Maybe it was the wine or her actually feeling attracted to him but she felt good for once by his side. It reminded her of the first few months where they were okay and there was no lingering feeling of resentment “You do a lot of things right” she kissed his cheek “And I don’t just mean hockey” “Thanks babe, you too” Sidney winked at her A few more minutes went by and he was out, head on her chest and arms around her. Layla petted his hair and drifted off, she knew those instances only lasted a bit but she’d take them. For his sake and for her own

******************************

The following morning she woke up to the smell of coffee and Sidney responding to emails next to her with a bedhead. She sat up and kissed his cheek as she rubbed his shirtless chest “Sleep well ?” “Like a baby” he kissed her forehead “I ordered some coffee and pancakes and a plate of fruit” “I’m more hungover than anything” she admitted as she realized she was still naked, she carefully reached over and took his phone “But I know I want one thing….” “I’m about to head out to meet some of the guys for brunch” Sidney slid out of her hold “Sorry baby, but I’ll be back for after noon” “Oh…okay” she sat back down and held the sheets to her chest as she watched him get ready “What are we gonna do when you get back ?”

“What ever you wanna do babe” Sidney answered and leaned over to kiss her “See you in a few” he caressed her cheek and walked out of their room 

Layla sighed and got out of bed, taking her phone out of her purse to check her messages as she heard knocks on her door. Assuming Sidney had maybe forgotten something she didn’t bother checking the peephole and opened it, only to see Nate standing behind it looking furious

“Choke me ? You told her to choke me ?” he walked past her “I almost passed out ! I basically coughed up a lung last night you fucking psycho”

“Holy shit she actually did it” she chuckled “Let me guess, she slapped you too ?”

“Her nail cut my cheek” Nate snapped as he turned his cheek to show her “Hurt like hell, why the fuck would you tell her to do that ?”

“For fun” Layla shrugged “Plus, she’s totally vanilla….I’d let you do those things to me” she walked up and pressed against him

“That’s because you’re a whore, she’s not” he looked down at her

“You thought of me the whole time didn’t you ?” Layla traced her fingers across his jaw “You’re so cute, you know that ? Not as sexy as Sidney of course but it’s okay”

She loved poking the bear when it came to Nate, he had a switch and would flip at any second and it was hot. She yelped when he picked her up and laid her down on the bed, untying her robe in the process. She took it upon herself and sat up, removing his belt from his pants and stroking him

“We’re not doing this prep shit today” he pushed her on her back “I want you on your back, now”

Layla did as told and positioned herself, gasping when he inserted himself and began his harsh thrusts, she wrapped her arms around his neck as his mouth found hers “She’s not me” she murmured “I’m the one you want, I’m the one you wanna fuck every day. You’re mine”

“Say that again” Nate whispered as he lifted his head

“You’re mine” she repeated “You’re mine and no one else’s”

Before she knew it she was on her stomach clutching the bedsheets face down as he pounded her from the back. Her vision was blurry and she could feel the beads of sweat dripping down her forehead but she loved every second of it “Keep going” she panted “More” “You’re such a whore” Nate smacked her ass “You love when I fuck you like this, don’t you ?” “Yes” Layla whined “More, please don’t stop….please” The sound of clapping noises filled the room as tears of pleasure rolled down her face, it was exhilarating to say the least. She reached her hand to rub her clit, whining when he slapped her hand away “I tell you when you can finish” he panted, his face red “You said not to stop and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon babe” By the time they finished she was shaking, she could hear him take off his condom and let out a big sigh as he laid next to her, clenching her thighs together when she felt his hand in the middle of them

“Open” he rasped Layla did as told and looked at him as she felt his fingers gently trace her swollen clit, squeezing it suddenly causing her to cry out “Shh you’re fine” Nate whispered, leaning down to suck on one of her nipples “Enjoy” She arched her back off the bed as he continued his familiar movements and finally came with a whimper. Before she could even sit up or get over the feeling he quickly changed back into his clothes “Just as good as ever, your ass and tits were made from some god” Nate shook his head “It’s insane how good those are after you had kids” The comment made her chuckle, “At least someone appreciates it” “Your husband’s having brunch with his Quebec buddies and invited me but I’m heading back home in a few hours so I guess I’ll see you around” he turned back to look at her

“Cool” she nodded “So you and Madeline are done ?” “Let’s see she choked me, slapped me, cut my my face with her nails and bounced on my dick to the point of my balls getting numb, safe to say I never wanna see her crazy self again” Nate chuckled “Such a shame, she was pretty” Layla said as she put her robe back on “For a blonde sure” he shrugged “But you’re more my type” She rolled her eyes “Wow I’m flattered, you should get going” “One more thing” Nate said before reaching into his pocket and taking out a pack of sour skittles “Here, for the plane ride back. So you can chew on them so your ears don’t pop” They were her favorite and during their first flight together years ago when they all went on vacation she had mentioned she preferred chewing on sour skittles than chewing gum since they tasted better and took her mind off her ears feeling funny. While she appreciated the gesture she knew things were about to cross a whole different line and it scared her

“Oh thanks” she nodded nonchalantly “Our plane has like nuts and proteins bars so this’ll be nice to have” “And Layla ?” he asked “What ?” she responded, pretending to be busy looking for something in her makeup bag “If it would've been you, I would've opened your chair” Nate admitted as he left and closed the door

Once he was out she laid down and hugged Sidney’s pillow, part of her missing him but knowing she couldn’t deny what she was feeling for Nate now. Life was about to become so much more complicated.
