Prospect's Early Pro Debut Questioned as AHL Teams Compete for Calder Cup.

The Buffalo Sabres' decision to play Matt Savoie during the Rochester Americans' Eastern Conference final playoff series against Hershey was ill-timed, as the 19-year-old was badly overmatched on the wall as a winger. Savoie, who was still in game shape from playing in the Western Hockey League final with Winnipeg, played Games 2 and 3 and didn't get a shot on goal as Rochester lost both. The Amerks had won Game 1 on the road, 5-1, and their speed clearly surprised the bigger, more veteran Hershey lineup. Despite the series loss, it is hard to argue the success the Sabres have found in Rochester.
