Jason LaBarbera, `forgotten backup’

Even though he’s not a King anymore, a) it’s the doldrums of May and b) Jason LaBabera is always a favorite topic here, it seems. The Vancouver Sun today wrote about LaBarbera’s future prospects (or lack thereof) with the Canucks.

LaBarbera, 29, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. After the trade from the Kings in December, LaBarbera appeared in only nine games and had a 2.66 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.

“It’s not easy playing just once a month,” LaBarbera said “I’ve never really been a backup my whole life. As far as seeing what’s out there, I don’t know who needs goalies and who else will be available. But one thing I’ve learned is that you can never predict what’s going to happen.”
