Do you believe its an advantage, if you have brothers in the same team (same line)?

Have any pair of brothers on the same team won a cup since the Sutters with the Iles?

Scott and Rob Niedermayer won with the Ducks in 2007

Imagine all the Staals together, doesn’t work in any way.

Who else thought Ulf and Kjell were brothers when they played in Pittsburgh? I just always assumed they were.

as a sens fan it was fun talking about trading for Matthew Tkachuk, but when u think of Brady being the captain soon , you know it just wont work seeing ur little brother captain the team u play for must become a gut punch as a competitive hockey player.

Other than the Sedins, is there any other examples of it working out?

Gretzky bros were on the same line?

This is the opposite of a simple question.

What if they play the same position? What if they don’t actually have chemistry? What if they’re 10 years apart in age? What if they’re step-brothers? What if one sucks? What if they both suck?

I didn't read the thread title, I sincerely apologize for my actions.

For purely anecdotal reasons I’ve always bought this. Growing up, I was decently coordinated and smart but average athletically. However my little brother was always flat out ridiculous at anything he touched (ACC athlete rn).

When we played together in anything, we had innate chemistry that I’ve never even come to close to matching with anyone else. It made me so much better. Back in the neighborhood we weren’t allowed to be on the same team playing pickup of whatever sport. So I can buy that there’s some advantage to having brothers on the same line given theyre both at least NHLers individually.

The trade boards care too much about uniting family members though, that’s for sure

 

[Breakers]

No, it certainly didn't do Vancouver any good.

a hart trophy, a couple art rosses say otherwise

Lucha Bros would be a disadvantage. The guys can hardly skate and would take way too many penalties. Sedins on the other hand did pretty well. I guess, it depends.
