In the spirit of the holiday season, sports teams and fans are exchanging festive greetings on social media. 'Merry Christmas, Hawks fans,' and 'Happy Holidays Jazz Fans,' were some of the warm wishes shared. Vancouver Canucks supporters were also greeted with a 'Merry Christmas, #Canucks fans.' Amidst the celebrations, the Canucks have given their fans an additional reason to celebrate by securing the top position in the NHL, with fans exclaiming 'We #1 in the league!' after a 7-4 victory over San Jose. The game was noted for its moments of sloppy play, but the Canucks' offensive strength and depth scoring, highlighted by Kuzmenko's performance and a strong home ice record, helped them to overcome these challenges. The win and the festive atmosphere were further enlivened by a humorous incident where a group of fans dressed as Santa Claus pretended to brawl with a group dressed as elves.
#Canucks cruise into Christmas as top team in #NHL after a 7-4 win over San Jose. Sloppy hockey at times. But enough firepower to overcome it. Kuzmenko. Depth scoring. That home ice record. We get into all of it on @RinkWideVAN https://t.co/LBtCdXUBXn
