Default Flames Schedule Wallpapers

Whatever happened to wallpapers? Maybe I'm just a dinosaur, but I always put the current month's schedule on my work desk top to follow and plan my life around the Flames. One glance is much easier than always checking my calendar day by day or logging into my Flames app. A search around the internet shows me that the days of these things must be over (although I did use a great KC Chiefs one for this season). Last Flames wallpaper I used was the Troy Brouwer one from October.

Last one the Flames made seems to be from December:

They'll probably put out a January one shortly.

I was looking for the January one too, today. They've actually been really well done this year.

They make them hard to find. I used to update it every month during the season. After October, I looked and looked on their site. Even did a google search to see if I could locate it that way. No luck.

At work today I found a high-res photo of Gaudreau and then photoshopped a screen shot of the calendar off the Flames website onto it.

It was driving me crazy not having an up to date schedule on my desktop. How am I supposed to know when the next game is if I don't have a desktop wallpaper? How?

Any desire in making a mobile sized wallpaper, AC?

What resolution? Might be tough squeezing the schedule in but I can try.

Hmm no I don't think so. Different orientation and large resolution.

I subscribe to the Flames schedule in Google Calendar, so I always have it no matter what device I am on.

Ended up modifying your calendar and slapping it on December's mobile background:

Perfect! I was trying to figure out how to get Tkachuk and the calendar on the mobile resolution but that works so much better.

LOL! For me it isn't the next game. It's how does the month look. Which games can I attend. What games do I need to set the PVR for.

The Flames didn't bother with January so I'm guessing February will be the same. Will one of you talented folks be doing any February ones for us to use?

Here's the same wallpaper as last time, but with February's schedule and Monahan instead of Tkachuk.

Edit: Removed.

I request that either Versteeg or Jokipakka be wallpaper'd for March.
