Neutral zone turn overs are the bane for each team thus far - the team that can control the neutral zone has a heavy advantage.

Rangers are playing a very dangerous brand of hockey through 1 period. Over-pursuing offensively, trying to create something.. If Tampa is patient, NYR will fall right into the trap.
