Tardi a big part of that.
Like the team though. Much better than what was going on last year with his team.
Never seen a foursome who looked more miserable together, particularly Morris and Neufeld.

That ls the difference between the mens game and juniors and part of Tardis transition to men’s. Juniors play a hitting game which is much simpler vs the draw game you see the top men’s teams play. It is no surprise to see the younger players and teams struggle at the Brier. It happens every year and it’s the primary reason we have not seen a young men’s team make any waves at the Brier for years now. Gauthier, Sturmay etc… cannot play the precise draw game (yet) that aBotcher/ Gushue/ Edin/ Mouat play. The top skips can all all play the hits to bail themselves out, but ideally they are drawing, tapping bumping, making the more difficult weight sensitive shots. Very few players have that feel and weigh control.
