Is this a case of the team being thrown together at the last minute or just friction between two "win at all costs" personalities?

The very same could be said for Team Jacobs as well, they are mostly all family tough so the team dynamic is a bit different there. Morris and Simmonds are opposites on the ice and Simmonds seems as if he is ignoring Morris a lot of the time. The brodcasters (Howard) mentioned this last night, he basically said that Morris talks a lot and Simmonds has to filter out we he needs to hear from all that Morris says. Prior to Morris joining them (when Koe was the skip) it looked even worse though, Koe and Simmonds are so much the same, there was no balance, no personality at all.
