Andre Blake is the Union’s security blanket, and he has been for a while. This season, Blake hasn’t had to be the team’s savior that often this season, but on Sunday he did.
The Union faced an enemy that had never lost at home, and Minnesota was determined to keep their unbeaten streak alive.
Blake produced an early double-save, flying out to stop Darwin Quintero Jr. after stoning Angelo Rodriguez. The looks on the Loons faces said it all: They knew it was Blake’s day. And when it’s Blake’s day, his teammates are always ready to help out.
