We both realized that you had a hole in your suit jacket.

Thankfully, I don't think it came across on camera, but only further added to the disaster makeup that Elliot has been portraying ever since crossing the border at Niagara Falls.

And then the real topper was Thursday morning.

Elliot, I could only describe, was in the state of the dad from 50 Below Zero, the Robert Munch book.

He comes walking down for breakfast.

I'm sitting at a table with Rick Houston, one of our camera operators here covering the series.

He says good morning to us, walks past.

There's a table two down with a gentleman sitting there.

And Elliot thinks it was David Amber.

All I'm going to say is this man could not have looked any less like David Amber.

Yes, it is.

And I hope we can still find ways to carry on with the holes or maybe there's a patch job that they can do back at HQ because it is a beauty.

Oh, yeah.

Well, first I said, act like you have no idea what he's talking about when he asked for the credential.

But when I explained the situation, they're like, oh, that stank Friedman again forgot his credential.

I said, yes.

I said, you should refer to him as that.

It was so good.

Okay, we've got a couple submissions here to get to today, and we begin with Shane in Saskatoon.

If all the information is correct on the Maple Leafs being able to choose who gets the 2027 top 10 unprotected pick between the Flyers and the Bruins, could this actually be a good thing for Toronto?
