IU Hawks fan
They call me IU
Nothing you have said proves that Karlsson should take the back up job away.
Exactly.
Look, Emery is pretty bad and we all know it. But nothing about this guy says upgrade to me.

So true. Under Haviland at Norfolk, they were decent. Once Haviland left and the team switched to a former UHL affiliate, things went downhill quickly.Chicago's farm teams haven't always been bad, but it is unfortunate that this current group (starting with Pirri/Morin/Beach) have been in a losing atmosphere for their entire Pro careers pretty much - outside of short stints with the Hawks and being called up in the playoffs.
I'm not at all a fan of Ted Dent.. if they had a decent coach, I don't think they'd be bad; they certainly don't lack talent, even with the call-ups.
Karlsson is better. He plays better. He produces better stats on a worse team. He's more athletic. He's much bigger. Is he a major upgrade over Emery? No. But better is better. Whatever, you guys still want to lick Emery's ******* for no reason, go right ahead. It's only a matter of time before the Hawks make the change, he knows it, you know it, I know it, Karlsson knows it too.

I'm pretty sure he's not, and I'm glad the team agrees with me.
Karlsson is better than Emery. Emery is bad, Karlsson isn't good either, but Emery is bad.
I've seen them both and Karlsson has at least a chance to win and not lose us the game
Last year
Emery 15wins 27starts
Karlsson 1win 7 starts
Ya, he really gives us a better chance to win.
Not arguing either side as I've never seen Karlsson play, but that's not a fair statistic because the Blackhawks are a much better team.
We had 4 more regulation wins than Calgary.....
They also have a better #1 goalie.
Which has what to do with Karlsson vs. Emery?
Karlsson is the new shiny toy and therefor better than the old toy.
another meh move?
Bowman traded a 7th aka nothing for a #3 goalie and AHL depth. No downside here.
I'm pretty sure he is better than Emery.
How about this, we won 15 games and only lost 9 with Emery in net last year. Karlsson had 1 win and lost 4 as a back up.
Nothing you have said proves that Karlsson should take the back up job away. How does starting Karlsson in net help the Hawks if he is just as bad or worse (which he is)
