The real reason behind the injury to Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube, who now has a large scar above his forehead, has been released.
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube now has a large battle scar, a large cut above his forehead that required over 50 stitches to repair.
But now, more insight is being shed on exactly how the injury occurred.
Berube was apparently doing a bench press when the bar came down on him, per Derek Settlemyre of the 'Nasty Knuckles' podcast
He was actually an accident, and there he's doing the press....I guess, the bar, you know, it came down and got him.
But I said "Did it peel your forehead, the way the cut is, did it flap down?
"Oh yeah", he goes, the weight, the force of the bar, and I'm like there must have, but you know when you're you're blood pumping, and you get hit, you bleed like crazy, and uh, he said, his blood, oh man. - Derek Settlemyre

Craig Berube Was No Stranger To Penalty Minutes During His NHL Career
Berube was known to drop the gloves at the drop of a hat, and he racked up 3,149 total penalty minutes, which remains seventh all time in NHL history.
It was jarring to see the scar on Berube, which he said required more stitches to fix than he ever received during his NHL career.
But right now, the heat is on Berube and the Maple Leafs, who are now in last place in the Atlantic after their recent 0-4-1 stretch at home.
Many wonder if Berube, who is just in his second year behind the Maple Leafs bench, could face calls for his termination if the Leafs miss the playoffs.
