When Ryan Reaves was acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins this summer, most expected him to fill the position of Sidney Crosby's personal on-ice body guard. And while he's filled that role quite nicely, it's his role as Phil Kessel's new bestie that's garnering the most attention.

Reaves' love for his new friend was on full display following Saturday's loss to the Vancouver Canucks, rocking an awesome shirt for his postgame interview with Kessel's head Photoshopped on the body of Michael Jackson on his famous "Thriller" album cover.

Shooting hoops, playing pranks on each other, and now custom gear, this budding relationship is starting to look like a full-blown bromance.

Your move, Phil.
