LaBarbera finds comfort zone for Coyotes
GLENDALE, Ariz. Jason LaBarbera was gushing with a long-forgotten feeling Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.
Confidence.
Its gratifying to get that feeling again, said LaBarbera, who stopped 39 shots in a 3-1 win at Jobing.com Arena. Its been a while since Ive had that.
In a condensed season where numerous Western Conference teams have employed a two-goalie approach to keep...

Phoenix Coyotes have a championship belt they give to player of the game (Picture)
The Phoenix Coyotes have some professional wrestling fans in their locker room, which is why they have decided to incorporate the WWE into their game day festivities. According to Puck Daddy, goalie Jason LaBarbera sent defenseman Keith Yandle, who is also a huge wrestling fan, a photo of his replica title belt in 2011. That put the wheels in motion for a present-day tradition. The...
Coyotes find comfort zone in western Canada
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. The first time Jason LaBarbera returned to Vancouver to play, he was inundated with ticket requests from friends and family members.
I learned my lesson, said LaBarbera, who is from nearby Burnaby. I bought about 20 tickets and it cost me like three grand. I was like, yeah, no more of this.
Travel costs aside, the Coyotes annual trip through western Canada to...

Goalies struggling to find groove
Phoenix Coyotes goalie Jason LaBarbera kept sharp during the NHL lockout by joining his teammates for informal workouts at the team's practice facility.
He didn't go overseas to play, as some goalies did, but tracking pucks and turning away shots every day gave him an edge over players who stayed at home.
Of course, once the lockout ended, it was a scramble, leaving LaBarbera...

(Photo by: Kelly Cox)
Being a backup most of his career, Jason LaBarbera is looking to show the entire world that he can still play in the NHL well. LaBarbera has found himself playing for four NHL teams--New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Phoenix Coyotes--and has been back and forth in the minors. However, in the past six seasons, LaBarbera...

This is random: CM Punk is featured on Phoenix Coyotes goal tender Jason LaBarbera's mask.
The Coyotes' Dave Vest tweeted out the above photo of the Punk helmet, which includes Metallica St. Anger fists.
Pretty sweet to see a wrestler make a crossover impact. This isn't the first time LaBarbera has repped his WWE fandom. His masks have also featured Shawn Michaels...
The Understudy knows all the parts: Jason LaBarbera
I wonder if Jason LaBarbera wakes up at 3AM and wonders about how he arrived where he is right now. He’s Mike Smith’s backup, and a goalie who’s been on both teams in the Western Conference finals. (For the bar bet of the week, he’s also tended goal for the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Rangers.) He’s been the #1 goalie in the minors, but other than one season with...
Goalie pays tribute to Pat Tillman with new mask
Scoping goalie masks is a fun thing to do for hockey fans. Masks allow the goaltenders to express their personalities through personalized decorations. Some guys go elaborate, some go simple, and some people go patriotic. That’s what Phoenix Coyotes goalie Jason LaBarbera decided to do, as Puck Daddy informs us: LaBarbera apparently wanted to pay [...]
