Ex-Capitals forward Jeff Halpern on his time with the Rangers: "I've been real happy. It's a great team, great organization, great coaching staff. It's been a lot of fun. I think just playing in the NHL is a blast, but there's a few organizations that I think are always special places to play and this is one of them, for sure. It's been a lot of fun so far."
