Thanks for everything, Killer.

I think he may have played in 1 or 2 games, later played a few games for St. Louis and then disappeared from the hockey scene. His name was Jacques Caron. It seems he simply had some kind of situation where nerves would get in the way of his play. I’m just not privvy to what exactly happened, but it is rare that one reads of something like that driving a guy from a game he loved to play?

O.K., so am I being mean? Could it be that LaBarbera is a “metal head” and hears Metallica instead of seeing the puck as it goes past him? I’ve read of other Kings goalies having admitted they had a real focus problem-totally unrelated to having been in goal for a team that allowed some of it’s goaltenders to become pincushions!
XXX to all! RL

p.s. cristobal, I did something uncharacteristic for “an old guy” I decided to see if other Kings fans actually reminisced…or just bitched ;-) —> hope this works —> http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1463889371#/profile.php?id=1463889371

Sounds like a quality guy to have spent so much time with one organization. 32 seasons! Wow.
