Interesting to see Frank project no big increase until 2026/2027.News: The #NHL's salary cap is projected to climb $1 million next offseason to $82.5 million, though the billion-dollar debt players owe to owners is also likely to increase. A look at the math, projections and frozen cap reality that's unlikely to thaw: https://t.co/1jvdVCBXW2 -

RT @CanaDanDavis: Good point here by @JasonGregor. 4 permanent homes, I would even support 1 permanent home. This nonsense of bankrupting countries to build unnecessary stadiums for a 1 off event is bewildering and so wasteful. https://t.co/friR11tNxv https://t.co/mv4VPkXY79

Warner is only the 4th man in history to surpass 9000 points as he joins Kevin Mayer, Ashton Eaton and Roman Sebrle. Incredible effort.Damian Warner becomes the first Canadian to win gold in the Decathlon. He led from the first event right to the 10th. What a great two-day performance. And he did it with a personal best topping 9000 points for the first time in his career. Awesome. #Olympics
