Although the Union have pretty much had a clear-cut No. 1 goalkeeper heading into each of their respective seasons, this year has to be viewed as different – regardless of what the average fans feels about the Union’s goalkeeper position.
Whatever jokes are out there to be made, spare them from Andre Blake. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick hasn’t exactly had the benefit of timing – to say the least – since he joined the Union, but he’s finally poised to take over the job. And that’s even with the backing of head coach Jim Curtin.
