Steve Bernier felt overwhelmed by the support he received from his teammates after his five-minute major for boarding resulted in three Los Angeles' power-play goals in Game 6 on Monday night. "Everybody in this room has been very nice," said Bernier. "They're hockey players. They know it could happen to anybody. I didn't try to do a non-hockey hit. I played the same way for the season, hitting every chance I got, and this time it was a little bad luck." To his credit, he was ready to field questions after the Devils' 6-1 loss resulted in the Kings winning the Stanley Cup. Bernier is eligible to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, but he is hoping to return to New Jersey.
