"I almost severed my Achilles' tendon," Langway recalled. "But it was still connected and they operated on me that night. I drove home by myself afterwards."

Capitals General Manager George McPhee, who was playing for the Devils that night, said a facial cut to former Capitals defender Jamie Heward last year against Dallas "was the worst cut I've ever seen."

Tough sport, played by tough guys.

Testing for Candidates

With hours and hours of interviews, you would have thought Redskins owner-fan-historian Daniel Snyder might have come up with a test for head coaching applicants -- including Jim Zorn -- similar to the Baltimore Colts quiz Eddie Simmons gave his financee in the Barry Levinson movie "Diner."

Such as:

¿ Team colors?

¿ Alma mater of Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh?

¿ Dolphins CB from whom Riggo broke free in '83 Super Bowl TD run?

¿ Name of QB Redskins traded to Eagles for Sonny?

¿ Redskins' kick returner who made team in open tryout (1972)?

¿ Darrell Green's greatest punt return?

¿ Nickname given in 1971 to George Allen's first team?

¿ One-time, one-game position (1990) of kick returner/RB Brian Mitchell?

¿ Two nicknames for Redskins' receiving corps in the 1980s?

¿ Team colors?

Zorn can e-mail me his answers to talkback@washpost.com and make fans forget his news conference gaffe last Sunday. Honor system in place. Fans can play, too.
