    Just charging but not a game misconduct for attempt to injure?!

    Pellerin said. “The way the league decides is it makes a decision and tells us. We don’t have an opportunity to defend the player. I’ve learned in the past it’s a waste of time to argue. We accept the decision of the league.”

    I was shocked to find out a couple years ago that there is no hearing in the AHL no matter the infraction. That seems a tad unfair to me, especially on hits like this where it looked to me that Backman may have put himself in a dangerous position by reaching for the puck.
