The Washington Capitals recently bid farewell to the EPIX cameras that followed the team through the Winter Classic; which is a shame, because we’d love to have heard what was spewing forth from coach Barry Trotz’s mouth after taking a stick to the head from his own player.

At the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night, Capitals forward Marcus Johansson was sent over the boards by defenseman Luke Schenn.

MoJo’s stick swung wildly and conked Trots right on the forehead, cutting it open. Trotz immediately brought his hand to his head in pain, or to make sure that none of the candy fell out.

The Capitals trainer came out to the bench, stitched up a surly looking Trotz, and the coach continued coaching. Because NHL coaches are tougher than NBA coaches OBVIOUSLY.

Johansson was then traded to Edmonton during the first intermission. JUST KIDDING! Accidents happen.
