It is a HUGE weekend at the top of the Elite League. The Giants took top spot last weekend with their 11-3 blow out of the Newcastle Vipers followed by a 3-1 away win in Edinburgh. While the Coventry Blaze slipped up at home against Sheffield to allow the Giants to sit top of the tree as the weekend ended.
The Blaze still have enough games in hand to regain the top spot should they win them, however that could change after this weekend as the Giants and Blaze collide in back to back games that could go a long way to deciding who is in the driving seat come 2010.
The Blaze will be bouyed in their quest with the Giants mid-week slip up in Cardiff, losing 5-2 in a poor performance against the Devils. The Giants have injuries in defense, while the Blaze have just strengthened their with the acquisition of former Capital Chris Allen.
It’s going to be a massive weekend at the top.
