The Los Angeles Kings are the Stanley Cup Champs! The Kings took care of business on home ice, pounding the New Jersey Devils 6-1. The game was never in question, as the Kings scored three times on the powerplay after Devils forward Steve Bernier was given a five-minute major for boarding just over 10 minutes into the game after bloodying Rob Scuderi with a hard hit from behind. The Kings never looked back. Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis both scored twice, while Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Quick made 17 saves for the victory. The win marks the first Stanley Cup in franchise history for the Kings, who become the first 8 seed to hoist Lord Stanley.
