This penultimate edition of Survey Says from this season comes from a suggestion by subscriber Ron Vassel, who wanted to know about the Penguins players' favorite TV shows from their childhood.
Here's how they answered.
Arturs Silovs: “It’s a long time ago, but the classic was 'Tom and Jerry,' that’s a big one. They don’t speak, so the language didn’t matter. Then came in 'Adventure Time.'”
Tommy Novak: ”'SpongeBob.'”
Sidney Crosby: “How old are we talking? Like if I were to remember when I started watching TV, I would say 'Inspector Gadget.'”
Stuart Skinner: “'Suite Life of Zack and Cody.'”
Kris Letang: “I didn’t really have one, I just watched the sports news.”
Noel Acciari: “I used to watch 'Rocket Power,' 'Recess.' That's a tough one, because you get 'Rugrats,' too. Probably all of those.”
Harrison Brunicke: “When I was really young I liked 'Ben 10.' (Matt Dumba: What?) 'Ben 10.' You ever see it? (Dumba: No?) It’s so good. Or 'SpongeBob.'”
Matt Dumba: “I have to go with 'Recess.' (turns to Brunicke) You don’t know about that sh—? (Brunicke: No, I don’t know 'Recess'). Oh, jeez.”
Rutger McGroarty: “'The Flash.'”
Brett Kulak: “I’ll say 'Recess.'”
Sam Poulin: “'The Simpsons' or 'Johnny Test.'”
Jack St. Ivany: “'Friends,' at an appropriate age. When I was really young, 'Drake and Josh' or 'iCarly.'”
Bryan Rust: “Probably 'Rocket Power.' 'Recess' was up there, but 'Rocket Power.'”
Joona Koppanen: “I’d say 'DuckTales.'”
Erik Karlsson: “'Two and a Half Men.' As an older kid!”
Rickard Rakell: “I think as I got older, I watched a lot of 'Two and a Half Men' because it was on the TV when I came home from school. We didn’t have that many channels.”
Blake Lizotte: “'SpongeBob.' I got into 'Rocket Power' for awhile. That was a good one.”
Sergei Murashov: “Just cartoons, I didn’t watch too much TV but I especially like Russian cartoons. (Me: Like 'Booba?') Yeah! (Derek Army) called me 'Booba' last year because his kids love 'Booba.' But it’s not the best, there’s much better in Russia.”
Anthony Mantha: “'Toy Story.' It’s a movie, OK, but it still counts because you watch them on the TV.”
Ryan Graves: “I loved 'Recess.'”
Justin Brazeau: “'Suits.' (Me: As a kid?) I wasn’t a huge TV kid until I started getting into junior when 'Suits' came out.”
Connor Clifton: “'SpongeBob' and 'Rugrats,' those are the two I remember.”
Parker Wotherspoon: “As a kid, there's a ton, honestly. 'Wizards of Waverly Place.' 'Zoey 101' was up there. 'Hannah Montana' was huge. 'Boy Meets World' was big. Oh yeah, and 'Suite Life on Deck.'”
Ryan Shea: “When I was young young, I was a big MTV guy. Even going back, it was 'Cribs,' all that.”
Connor Dewar: “I’m drawing a blank, I can’t even remember.”
Tristan Jarry: “Probably the Discovery Channel.”
Kevin Hayes: “'One Tree Hill.'”
Ben Kindel: “'Seinfeld.' But as a child? I don’t even know.”
Ville Koivunen: “'The Simpsons,' I watched that a lot when I was young. It was in English, but with the Finnish text.”
