Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas recently participated in a fun social media moment with Pittsburgh mayor Corey O'Connor, who bears a similar resemblance to him.
Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas, who is now in his third year on the job since coming over from the Toronto Maple Leafs, bears a striking resemblance to new Pittsburgh mayor Corey O'Connor.
The two recently got together for a fun social media video highlighting the resemblance.
"I'm not the one you call about your potholes or your taxes," Dubas said.
"...And I'm not the one you call about the power play or who's in net tonight," O'Connor said.

The two also held together a torn photograph from the 1998 Disney film "The Parent Trap".
The Kyle Dubas Hiring Of Dan Muse Has Paid Off For The Penguins So Far
Dubas, who is now in his third season as the Penguins GM, is hoping to make the most out of the time remaining in the careers of longtime franchise mainstays Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang.
He made the choice to make a major change in leadership this summer, letting longtime head coach Mike Sullivan go after nearly 10 years on the job and hiring former New York Rangers assistant Dan Muse in his place.
While he attempted to find trading partners for players like Erik Karlsson, Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust, he proved unsuccessful and all three players remain with the team.
But the Penguins got off to a much better start than even the most conservative estimates would have given them a chance at, and they're currently 12-7-5 and in fifth place in the Metropolitan Division, and a small point swing could put them in the top three before long if they can continue their impressive start.
