1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Don't forget to sell at a loss to minimize your tax burden.

 

Do any of you guys use Google Chromecast? About 2 weeks ago they started aging out and the firmware went out of date. Basically turning them all into bricks.

If you do use them, good news Google sent out updates today and they are good to go.

jesus it's like he's made out of rubber bands

 

He was a Jr King and Quick was his idol. I hope the Kings find a way to acquire him. He is in the race for the Calder trophy.

 

That would be amazing, Calgary would be fool to let him go though

 

I agree but worse trades have been made.

 

Us Kings fans know all too well lol. I do like Keumper this year so far, but he's not a long term guy at his age. Don't really know the prospects that well in the farm system. I guess with Kopi's contract ending after this year (?) that will free up some big money along with the salary cap increase, assuming he's retiring. I think he's getting $7m right now. Don't know what Wolf's current contract is though

with his stats so far he will probably be asking big $ when it comes time to renegotiate. Big money for long term on goalies is a big risk, I would rather see those contracts be limited to just a few years at a time. Goaltending is such a demanding position physically/mentally it's a big liability to put the kind of money on them for several years that Boston did with Swayman for instance. Or even Quick with his big cap hit and bad stats toward the end of his time here

 

I think Kopi has 1 more season at 7 million ish. But yeah that a lot of cap space.
I wouldn't give a goalie a contract over 5 years. Like you said they always are questionable at the end. If Kemper can keep this up maybe extend him a season or two and bring up Portillo. I bet Kemper is in the Vezina running.

Reg cab short bed 1st gen tundras look soo... disturbing

 

I like that. I want that. That looks like a really good job.

 

I once worked with people who drove new Porsches using balloon notes. The only problem was they couldn't put many miles on them while they owned them.
They would drive them to work on Fridays or once a month to show off. The rest of the time they were driveway ornaments.

 

Still better than the factory 2nd gen version

 

Has anyone ever run Doug Thorley headers? They’re expensive but they seem to be the only permanent fix to exhaust manifold leaks on the VG33, 2UZ, and other engines with that issue.

 

I've got over 200k on my 2UZ. Never had a leak.

 

i have the ebay DT clones. they sound great but the install is a PITA. have to pull the motor IMO. at a minimum removing the motor mounts and shifting it around
