This is outright robbery. Andy faced 166 shots and Nielsen faced 102. Yet, their save percentage – 75% – is identical. Combine that with SKC having TWO defensemen make the top 11, while NO ONE on the Crew defense was even considered for the list, and it should have Gruenebaum’s honor to lose. Is Nielsen a great keeper? Yep. But life for a great keeper is sure a LOT easier when you have 1) a defense 2) a team that can score and 3) a team that has the lead in most games and can play to protect that lead. Nielsen had all of that and Andy had none of it.

That’s the only qualm I have, but it’s quite a bit oversight.
