Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have always had a brother-type relationship on and off the ice since coming up to the National Hockey League together in 2007-08, and now their bromance has shifted to social media.
Toews, who turned 28 years old last Friday, received birthday wishes all day from fans on Twitter, including Kane, who doesn't tweet often — at least during the season.
While the birthday wish was appreciated, the Blackhawks captain still felt a little empty:
Thx man, seriously though what's with the no-follow https://t.co/odMLlU0XWI

It took a few days but Kane eventually gave in on Wednesday and followed Toews, albeit reluctantly:
@JonathanToews Sorry, didn't think you would be interesting enough to follow.
