Statistics, especially Goals Against Average (GAA), can be deceiving for goalkeepers in this sport. These rankings are based more on overall impression of technical ability, intelligence, and results. Statistics are provided more as a helpful reference snapshot.
Top 5 MLS Goalkeepers (as of 05.26.2010)
WLT 8-0-1; 810 min; 7 SO; 26 saves; 0.929 Save %; 0.22 GAA
By far the most dominant goalkeeper in the MLS. With only one vote allowed for each voter, this has to be the selection.
Although he has the privilege of being part of the best team in the league, his raw athleticism and shot stopping ability propels him to the top. As is mentioned in his GKGrades report, "with an intense focus on cleaning up the technical aspects of his game, Ricketts could find himself in a higher-level league in the future."
