Kevin Bieksa trolls former teammate on live TV with risqué photo

Kevin Bieksa seems to have gained a lot of fans since he started appearing on the Hockey Night in Canada panel. The veteran of more than 800 NHL games adds a unique and funny perspective to an otherwise somewhat drab group in between periods of Saturday night games.

This year, some of the panelists have been broadcasting from their homes on certain nights, and this Saturday's turn belonged to Bieksa. Bieksa, apparently not above a good trolling gag, had a framed photo behind him of former Vancouver and Anaheim teammate Ryan Kesler. The photo in question, shown below, is a somewhat risqué rendering of Kesler from a 2011 photo shoot for ESPN.

The image was pointed out by co-worker Danielle Michaud of Sportsnet.

The was obviously done on purpose on Bieksa's part to get a laugh by poking fun at an old friend. Hopefully, we'll get a response from Kesler at some point.
