PETE RUSSELL is in no doubt that Sheffield Steelers will win this year’s Elite League regular season title - he was just determined that it would not happen in his Cardiff Devils team’s rink.
The Steelers headed to South Wales on Wednesday night to face the Devils team knowing a win would see them crowned champions for the first time since 2016. The two points gained would have been enough to give them a four-point swing on second-placed Cardiff who, while still mathematically able to match the Steelers’ points tally, would have been scuppered by virtue of the leaders’ having far more regulation wins to their name.
Given one team is their arch-rival and the other will still be licking its wounds after losing out to the Steelers in the Challenge Cup Final recently, there are few guarantees of Fox’s team getting over the line this weekend. But Russell, whose team have a one-game weekend when they host Nottingham on Sunday, is convinced they will, more a matter of when, not if, as far as the GB head coach is concerned.
