Stealing Their Thunder

The Rattlers find themselves in unfamiliar territory so far this season, that is to say above .500 and first in their division. And they owe it all to the Thunder as they are 3-0 against their division rivals. It's not like they have dominated the Thunder, in fact all 3 games have been tight affairs with the outcome in doubt till the end. Witness the 16-11 goal totals for the 3 games. Its not like the Thunder as a weak team as they have a better record than the Rattlers without those 3 games. So blame it on karma, blame it on different styles, blame it on luck or blame it on the rain. For whatever reason the Rattlers have been fortunate enough to grab 6 vital division points and thats what matters.
