The banter between Toronto and Seattle escalated as Seattle’s hockey team playfully taunted Toronto Blue Jays fans on Saturday. The Seattle Kraken showed support for the city’s baseball team by donning Seattle Mariners jerseys at Scotiabank Arena ahead of Game 6 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS).
Taking the jest to social media, the Kraken posted messages like “walk in the 6ix, takeover the 6ix” and “SEATTLE OVER EVERYBODY.” Their playful trolling continued with a tweet emphasizing their support for Seattle.
In a fitting follow-up, the Kraken defeated the Maple Leafs 4-3 on the ice. With a 3-2 series lead, the Mariners secured a 6-2 win over the Blue Jays in Game 5 on Friday, setting the stage for a crucial Game 6 at Rogers Centre on Sunday.
