The San Jose Sharks' playoff push is on hold as the team focuses on a more pressing concern: the upcoming holiday season. The NHL team's top priority this season seems to be getting into the spirit of things, rather than securing a spot in the postseason.
According to sources within the organization, the Sharks are emphasizing festive cheer and charitable endeavors over playoff seeding. This unusual focus has left some fans scratching their heads, wondering if the team is taking a cue from the holiday movies they've been watching all season.
"We're not just thinking about March Madness," said one insider. "We want to make sure our players have time for family, friends, and fun this holiday season."
This shift in priorities has also led to some unexpected changes within the organization. The Sharks' training staff is now providing extra support for holiday-themed yoga classes, while the marketing team is busy brainstorming ideas for a new holiday merchandise line.
While some fans might be disappointed that playoff hopes are taking a backseat, others see it as an opportunity to refocus on what truly matters: the joy and giving of the season. As one player put it, "It's not just about winning games; it's about spreading cheer and making our community a better place."
So, if you're looking for your Sharks team to dominate in the playoffs this year, it seems you might have to wait another day. But who knows? Maybe by January, they'll be back on track – or at least having some fun along the way.

... are they seriously saying that winning the playoffs isnt as important as spreading cheer? I mean, I get it, holidays are a great time to bring people together and give back to the community, but isn't the whole point of playing hockey in the first place to WIN?!

It's like they're giving up on their season goals just because it's December. And what's with all the yoga classes? 
Do they really think that some holiday-themed downward-facing dog is gonna give them an edge in the playoffs?
"Downward-facing holiday cheer" has a certain ring to it... 
i mean, who says u can't have fun and give back 2 the community 2 at the same time?! they r tryin 2 bring a lil holiday cheer 2 the ice 
. I mean, it's not like they're gonna forget about playoffs or anything. They'll probably get back on track soon enough. But hey, if being all merry and bright can boost morale and make the team better, then that’s a win in my book 
. it's like they're trying to be too cute with their yoga classes and merchandise lines... and what's up with the training staff getting in on the fun? 
we need some real hockey action around here not just watered-down festive fluff 
It's not like they're abandoning ship or anything... though some fans might be a little bummed about it. Still, who doesn't love a good holiday-themed yoga class 
? Or a charity event in their name? Let's just hope the team comes back strong and focused on hockey by January 
!
maybe they'll come back stronger (and playoff-ready) by january 
And a new holiday merchandise line sounds like an awesome way to get fans in the mood for the season.
or new merch line? might not be the most conventional approach but hey, if it works for them, i say let's just enjoy the ride
