When Los Angeles Kings assistant general manager Ron Hextall says he hopes rookie goalie Jonathan Bernier sees things clearly now, he's not just talking about pucks.
Bernier started the season with the Kings -- and beat defending Stanley Cup champ Anaheim in the opener in London -- but Hextall and Los Angeles sent him back to juniors for more experience. Bernier didn't take it too well, which Hextall understands.
"The only thing I told him is I promise you will look back in hindsight in a couple of years and say, 'It was the best thing for me,"' Hextall said. "I have not heard it yet. John was so disappointed when we sent him down, I'm not sure how much he could take in."
