You can even make an argument that Robles is our best goalkeeper ever. I think he clearly passed Meola already, and he has all the numbers on Howard. It's just that Howard had so many amazing moments (and the defense in front of him was so much worse, so he had to be amazing).

No coincidence we've won our two shields with him in net. He's one of the most consistent, week-in-and-week-out goalkeepers in the league. Take into account his off-field affability and it's hard not to love Robles, or feel happy for the guy.

Well-deserved.

He was incredible all season. I'm sure I'm forgetting some but I hardly remember him making many mistakes at all.

I love Timmy, but his best years as a keeper have been in England.  Robles's have been here - makes him Number 1 in my book.  Even with this award, he's probably still one of, if not the, most underrated players in MLS.

Extremely well deserved. I remember when we picked him off the some sort of list with our allocation, there were some who said it was a bad move. Turns out it was one of our best ever moves.
