Logan Couture has endeared himself to the Bay Area over the course of his 10-year career with the San Jose Sharks, but he may be seen as the enemy over the next two weeks.

Couture, who grew up in London, Ontario, is an avid Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors fan, and with the latter facing off against the Golden State Warriors in the upcoming NBA Finals, the Sharks’ star made it clear where his loyalty lies.

...and yes for the record, my loyalty resides with the @Raptors. Sorry Bay Area, for the next couple weeks we are enemies.

New Jersey Devils star Taylor Hall also appears to be on board with Couture’s decision.

Couture led the Sharks to the Eastern Conference Final, where they were eliminated by the St. Louis Blues. Sharks fans ought to forgive Couture, however, as he still leads all playoff scorers with 20 points ahead of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.
