Ilya Kovalchuk destroys Phil Kessel on social media!

It's always amusing to see hockey players engage in some friendly banter, even if it is two players playing in completely different leagues. 

On Wednesday Kontinental Hockey League superstar Ilya Kovalchuk destroyed Pittsburgh Penguins forward Phil Kessel on social media when he cracked a hilarious joke at Kessel's expense on an Instagram post from Russian star forward Evgeni Malkin.

Malkin published a photo of himself and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby on the golf course, however a third person was cut out from the photo and the only thing that could be seen from this person was their gut. 

That's when the KHL's Kovalchuk took the opportunity to comment in Russian, asking Malkin if the gut belonged to none other than two-time Stanley Cup Champion Phil Kessel. 

Of course the comment was meant to be a joke, and we're sure that Kessel will take it that way once he hears of the joke from Kovalchuk.
