Hey dudes,
So for the last few NHL seasons I've been making playoff desktop backgrounds for myself and a few buddies. Basically, it's a playoff grid that I update daily based on the results of that days games. I'm doing it anyway, so I thought why not make it available for TBL'ers!
I don't know what that status of our image uploading is here on the site so I've put it on my Flickr account for now. You can grab the 'blank' 1st round bracket right here:

Every night after the games are over, I will be updating the background to reflect the status of the series.
Let me know if you guys are into this or not!
Cheers and enjoy those playoffs - mmm mmm good!

Putted it as my laptop
However, it prevents me from seeing half the bottom logos (Pens and Sharks) for the first round

Thanks for checking it out Shadd!
As for your problem with the BG getting cut off...
I made it 1024x768, which is pretty standard. Have you set it to 'centered' rather than 'strecthed'? If it's set to stretched it might get cut off by the taskbar along the bottom.
Let me know if that doesn't help.
Cheers.

It's stretched
Works fine in standard
But i always use stretched laptops. No worries though. I'll see perfectly who wins the cup, that's all what matters!

Very true.
I'll be waiting for the outcome of this craziness before I post today's BG.

Personnally, i really love this wallpaper updated day-by-day with the latest playoffs result
It would be awesome if it coul update all alone without clicking twice to do so, but that's maybe my lazy side

I was going to post them to my gallery here on the site, but then I considered the possibility of another hack that would disable image uploading for a few days and I decided it would be 'safer' to host the files on my Flickr account. Unfortunetly, Flickr assigns each file it's own file name so I can't just replace the file every day with a new one of the same name. get it?
Thanks for downloading anyway Shadd!

Get it
But, would it have been automatically updated on my computer if you had post it in your gallery? (noob question, sorry
)
Thanks for the updates

oh - nope, even if it was in my gallery you'd still have to click twice to update it.
it's that one extra click that makes it terrible! haha.

Hey Catchup. This new one sucks. The Rangers have a "2" in their win column. That sucks.

As long as it's not a "4" for the Red Wings, i like it
Bah, i'm joking
i'll like it even when the Wings will end the series 4-0

pumped to put the 2 in Vancouver's win column tonight.

Hey CatchUp what happened to that glorious, bandwagon hopping Blue and Green avatar you sported for about 10 minutes?
