EIHL to date
The Elite league in the UK is becoming clearer as regards the title winners.
After back to back defeats at the hands of
lowly Coventry Blaze, the Sheffield Steelers look to have dropped out of the
title race. It seems to be between leaders Cardiff Devils and second placed
Braehead Clan. Although the latter club have three games in hand, and a fairly
easy run in, they are seven points behind. Before the weekend it had looked as
though Sheffield had a slim chance with
Nottingham Panthers and Belfast Giants also slipping out of contention.
At the other end of the table Edinburgh
Capitals(8th) and Manchester Storm(7th) appear doomed to
miss out on a play off place at the end of the season. Indeed this may well
help Braehead Clan in there title quest as they have to play both bottom sides
three more times each.
