The incident happened during the Capitals - Toronto Maple Leafs game. A puck deflected off the skate of the Washington defenseman Karl Alzner, and ricocheted toward the Caps' bench —- and Trotz's head.

So Trotz —- tough guy that he is —- shrugged it off , stayed behind the bench and gave a classic response:

If the puck didn't cause a headache, his team's performance sure did. Washington lost, 4-2.
