5000 at least puts them in the same ballpark as the Giants/Panthers/Steelers, they keep selling out so the demand is there, for me a misguided decision, the Devils deserved better.

The start of a run of almost must win games over the Christmas period. Whilst the title can’t be won at Christmas, it can be pretty much lost if we have a poor run of games.

We can’t afford to lose ground on our rivals, especially as we don’t have the first tie-breaker on regulation wins. Losing this one in regulation puts us 3 points behind the Devils with only the one game in hand.

We’ve not had any of what I would call ‘tough’ games recently, so we’ll need to raise our level for 60 mins, not just for 5 minutes in the training session against Glasgow.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be quite up to speed for this one.

3-2 Cardiff.
