Daily Roundup for 3/6

A short version of the daily links for your Friday morning.  Keep in mind that we have a game to watch tonight.

Sabres Links

Mike Harrington has a nice piece on Ales Kotalik.  Kotalik was shocked when he was traded to Edmonton.  Quite frankly...I was too.

Usually we don't link to the Sabres main site (basically because we assume that you have already checked it) but some information regarding Tellqvist making his first start.  Maybe on Saturday?

Other Playoff Foes

While the Sabres were resting the Coyotes were beating the Bruins. [Stanley Cup of Chowder]

The Pens beat the Panthers last night and luckily it didn't go to overtime.  Pensburgh has a recap of the game.

Around the NHL

James Mirtle discusses the strange trade between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning.

I was wondering today about the starnge phenomnon that we have with jersey numbers and ironically enough there is a post about that very topic on Puck Daddy.

Scott Burnside at ESPN takes a look at the effect of the trade deadline on all 30 teams.
