PHOTO: Kessel's teammate dresses as hot dog labeled 'Property of Phil'

Let no one say Phil Kessel has no sense of humor.

While the sniper wasn't feted by the Maple Leafs upon his victorious return to Toronto on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Penguins winger celebrated Halloween with his teammates in the spirit of the city Kessel once called home.

When Kessel was traded in the summer, a Toronto Sun columnist wrote that a certain hot dog vendor in the city had lost his best customer. Kessel may be in Pittsburgh now, but it seems he hasn't forgotten the good times he shared with the Toronto media:

This hotdog is about as real as your story ?? Steve Simmons ? #TorontoSun ? #happyhalloween #bestcostume #flashback

The man in the hot dog costume is Penguins forward Bryan Rust. He belongs to Kessel, who apparently moonlights as a tennis player.
