The banter between Toronto and Seattle didn’t just stop at baseball on Saturday, as Seattle’s hockey team playfully taunted Toronto Blue Jays fans. The Seattle Kraken showed up at Scotiabank Arena in Seattle Mariners jerseys, showing support for their city’s baseball team as they gear up for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Jays.
Taking the teasing to social media, the Kraken posted messages like “walk in the 6ix, takeover the 6ix” and “SEATTLE OVER EVERYBODY.” This sentiment was further emphasized with a tweet declaring, “we truly mean this from the bottom of our hearts: SEATTLE OVER EVERYBODY.”
The Kraken’s antics continued as they triumphed over the Maple Leafs with a 4-3 victory on the ice. With a late-game offensive surge, the Mariners secured a 6-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 5, giving them a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The Blue Jays are set to clash with Seattle once more on Sunday night in a crucial Game 6 at Rogers Centre.
