EIHL round up
Time to take stock as the Elite league has now reached the half way point of the season.
Cardiff Devils ensured they will go into
Christmas on top of the table, they are three points clear of their nearest
rivals, Nottingham Panthers, but they do have two games in hand.
Sunday saw an end to a streak of five wins
for both them and Sheffield Steelers who are currently in third place.
However Belfast Giants are only two points
behind after they did the double over early surprise team Edinburgh Capitals,
who have now gone only gained six points out of a possible twenty in their last
ten games.
Everyone’s tip for the title, Braehead Clan
are languishing in sixth spot are are having problems with consistency, even
though –on paper- they have the top players.
Another Erhardt conference side struggling
to gain any type of form are last years Championship winners Coventry Blaze.
Four points from the weekend just gone ensures they will not be propping the
league up at Christmas, that ignominy falls to the Manchester Storm who,
remember, only managed to recruit a side three weeks before the season began.
