File this under "too good to be true." The New York Rangers have interviewed Mark Messier for their head coaching position. No, seriously. They have interviewed someone with no coaching experience to lead their team deeper into the playoffs than John Tortorella did.  Why Messier? Well, besides the fact that he's such a great leader […]

We all know Winnipeg forward Evander Kane has a lot of growing up to do. For example, who could forget being photographed with his “money phone” during the lockout while players were claiming poverty and more recently his whining about the NHL playoffs?

The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired Mark Streit from the New York Islanders in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Remember all of the speculation surrounding Dan Bylsma's future with the Pittsburgh Penguins? You can put it to rest. Today the team

Chicago forward Jonathan Toews might still be a little bitter about the 2011 NHL playoffs.

It seems like every year the NHL leaks something on accident. Usually it's clothing designs, like what the conference or Stanley Cup champion gear looks like.
