while I love keeper wars a GK's purpose isn't to be a "shotstopper".

A good one is the QB of the defense. He talks, barks orders and marks, is athletic and makes saves as well. A good keeper will know when he has to be somewhere and where he needs to be (crosses, angles for shots, coming out for breakaways, etc.) Most importantly good keepers, great HS keepers, can use their feet making them an extra sweeper option in the back when things get really hairy, making a simple pass back easier.
