There's no crying in baseball and, apparently, no fairness in hockey.

Ottawa Senators coach Cory Clouston was unapologetic Friday morning after pulling downtrodden goaltender Pascal Leclaire just two goals and six minutes, 23 seconds into his first start since Jan. 12.

Clouston bristled when asked whether or not it was fair to get the hook out so early in the 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
