Britain certainly getting used to stunning premature exits this week.

Holy poop!
Iceland up 2-1 against England after 18 mins.
This is like Norway against Canada in hockey.

It's a surprising upset nonetheless due to England's pedigree. But when Wales won the group over them, nobody should've expected a long English run.

You know what's funny, whatever you think about the Brexit issue one way or to the other, it's amazing how many "if I knew it actually was going to pass, I wouldn't have voted for it" people there are. Newsflash you f'ing morons, if you don't want something to happen, you vote for it not to happen. It's amazing how stupid people can be.

at least it helped Trump's Scotland golf course, that's the most important thing

I find it funny how people always blame the politicians. The politicians aren't the problem. The people are the problem. If it weren't for so many people being such ill-informed dupes, the politicians wouldn't focus all their time on trying to dupe you.

Winston Churchill once said that "the best argument against democracy is five minutes with the average voter." He was right.

New Jersey reportedly did not extend a qualifying offer to Beau Bennett, acquired from the Penguins Saturday.

Jon Merrill? Devils been talking that guy up forever

The Devils gave up a third-round pick to acquire Beau Bennett. Must mean they've agreed or will agree to another deal. Otherwise, the Bennett move makes no sense

DSP is even more surprising. Traded Matteau for him, and he seemed to finally put it together once he was here.

Merrill had a 900k hit, DSP had an 870k, Bennett had 800k.

The reason given for not qualifying is so they didn't have to abide by arbitration/ automatic raises involved with qualifying. Hoping to work out other deals.

If that's the case, the owners must have Ray on a very strict internal budget.

how do these guys not test free agency? I don't get what their incentive would be to stay

There are guaranteed raises involved with those QOs (some with arb rights). Allows them to re-sign to other deals. https://t.co/6tMv9w4zMM

My mind is blown if they are really going to let Bennett, Merrill and DSP walk for the minimal raises/arb rights that are given by qualifying them. The new owners are starting to make me feel like NJ is turning into Arizona East.
