Just put some toilet paper on it like you cut yourself shaving.

Hockey injuries are common. Cuts, scratches, lost teeth, and even arterial sprays are rather commonplace for pro players. Less so for coaches, but poor Barry Trotz bled for his team on Thursday.

Marcus Johansson bopped Trotz in the noggin following a hit with Luke Schenn in front of the Caps bench.

Trotz bled from a not-insignificant gash above his brow. Must be sensitive skin.

Caps trainer Greg “Smitty” Smith attended to the coach, and everyone acted like it was no big deal, but it could have been a nasty injury had it been a half-inch lower.

Hockey tough. Even the coach.
