Jeff Halpern Playing Quotations

I wish we played every team, but I understand that playing a lot against your division builds rivalries.

You never go into a game expecting a cake walk. I thought we played well enough to win. But again, the power play didn't come through in the first period on the 5-on-3. Then, they get that power play goal and we're playing catch-up.

It's definitely easier if you're in the playoffs. From that sense, this is a completely different mind-set from where you want to be. But at the same time there are a lot of guys here playing for jobs, playing for next year. At this point you're playing for pride and wanting to win as a group. But I admit we should be ashamed about some of the games we've played lately.

We're playing a lot better, but it's still a loss. We had a breakdown at the end of the second. Then they had a power play at the end and they scored. That was the difference in that game.
