Derek Morris played a whopping 1,107 Games in the National Hockey League and was regarded by the pundits as a solid two-way blueliner.  While this was true, Morris had the misfortune of playing on mediocre teams through the bulk of his career, namely in Calgary and Phoenix.  Over his career, he only made the playoffs four times though he did have a decent tally of 424 career Points.  While he was never close to being a champion in the NHL he would help Canada win the World Hockey Championship in 2004.
