The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been a wild ride this year, filled with unexpected twists and turns. Amidst all the excitement, Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell have taken things up a notch by placing a friendly bet on the Dallas Stars-Seattle Kraken second-round playoff series. The bet has piqued the interest of fans and political observers alike, adding an extra layer of complexity to the already exciting matchups.
Cruz, the Senator from Texas, has upped the ante by offering a tantalizing package of beer and snacks from Franconia Brewing Co. in McKinney, Texas and Frito-Lay. Cantwell, the Senator from Washington, has responded with a bet of her own, offering up a bottle of Fremont Brewing’s Sky Kraken Hazy Pale Ale and some mouth-watering salami from Seattle’s Salumi.
These bets were placed just before Game 2, which saw the Stars emerge victorious with a 4-2 win, setting up a tantalizing clash in Seattle for Games 3 and 4.
Interestingly, Cruz has a reputation for making political wagers with his fellow lawmakers, and this is not the first time he has placed a bet on a sporting event. Earlier this year, he countered California Rep. Eric Swallwell’s bet on the 49ers-Cowboys playoff game, showing that he is not one to shy away from a friendly competition. This time around, his bet has sparked a playful exchange with Cantwell, underscoring the intersection of sports and politics in a unique way.
