I only ask because on my phone I just get 20 images stacked vertically. Not a bandwidth issue or anything. On my PC it's no issue.

Might just be me though.

Not just you. Same thing happens to me.

[Enoch Root]

Scorpion, do you have a source that says Chiasson has been bumped up to Monahan's line?

Oh, and your GDT posts are great

[AC]

You could even keep the first 2 images of the Flames vs Canucks and the lines / pairings and start time outside of the spoiler tag.

Those display fine for me and then whats in the spoiler tag seems logical. Then you're not hiding everything.

Or an alternative solution would be to shrink the headshots all down until it displays 3 at a time on mobile? Depending on readability though.

uggghhh...why is Wideman still in the lineup and not Kulak? I also want to see Freddie instead of Stajan

[TheScorpion]

Yeah I know the Canucks aren't 1-0, I took the template from the Oilers game and I forgot to change it.

In regards to the spoiler tags, I can't shrink the player images any further. I'll unspoiler the first three images.

Also, Enoch Root, it's just a projection of my thoughts. I think Chia will replace Kris tonight. At the first indication otherwise, it'll change

[Weitz]

If anyone is watching hockey night in Canada tonight the Leafs are having a 90 minute pre game ceremony apparently.

[Jing]

Ugh Wideman.....hopefully his minutes are kept to a minimum.

[Karl]

If Wideman is playing, hopefully his minutes are kept down to 10 min even including the PP.

But I suppose that's asking too much.

The formatting looks great now, thanks!

[The Fonz]

Is it confirmed that Wideman is dressing tonight?

[christoph186]

Only confirmed line up change I've seen is that Johnson gets the start. Just read that on link from NHL.com on one of the flames tweets.

Amazingly, Stajan has been one of this team's few consistent bright spots these first 2 games. He was great in the first game. Consistently drove the play and helped set up Chiasson's goal and was decent last night too, notwithstanding when he was outmuscled by Eberle on the PK.

If any forward should be sat right now it's Ferland.

On another note if anybody in Van is interested in coming to the game, my buddy bailed due to the storm. Tickets were $80US but I could give them to you at a huge discount. PM me if interested.

Damn, if I saw this earlier I would have hit you up. Is it still available? I'll see if I can bail on my plans if it is.

Ok, I'll admit I don't remember him setting up Chiasson in the first game, but the second game he was not that great and did get out muscled by Eberle on PK. If Oilers didn't score that PP goal, it might've been a different game. I still want to see what Freddie has.

Yeah, Ferland wasn't any good either, may be sit him and insert Freddie and put Stajan on the wing. I don't know, I just want to shake up something.

[Vinny01]

Canucks haven't played in a week the flames have had 2 games of real hockey there is no excuse Tonight should be a win. If Johnson looks shaken it will be full panic meltdown here

This I can get behind.

Maybe move Chiasson to 1st line with Mony & Johnny for now, and Staj-Freddie-Versteeg as 4th line tonight?

[Stay Golden]

The Flames on paper are better than the Canucks, to me anyways. But I don't believe the result will be much different than lastnight.
I just don't see the drive, there seems to be a lot of confusion 5 on 5 with Gulutzan's "system". And I am not surprised about that at all.
I want to see Brouwer on the top line. Gaudreau is being hacked and slashed can Gulutzan not see that.
When Brouwer was signed it was the popular opinion around Calgary that good we have added a policeman with size strength and veteran hockey IQ for Gaudreau and Monahan. Treliving even said shortly after the signing that they targeted Brouwer as a FA early that they wanted a player that has his attributes of a power forward RW to play with Sean and Johnny.
Come on Gulutzan get it right.

[CroFlames]

Hoping for a blowout. Get that goal differential into the positive.

[hockey.modern]

Wouldn't be surprising to see the lines the same. That said, I saw a few changes at the end of last nights game. Versteeg dropped down and Brouwer on the top line I believe.

[Stay Golden]

The lines I would like to see...

Gaudreau – Monahan – Brouwer
Tkachuk – Backlund – Frolik
Bouma – Benett – Versteeg
Ferland – Stajan – Chiasson

Giordano – Brodie
Jokkipakka – Hamilton
Engelland – Wideman
