Derek Morris is thrilled to be out of Phoenix and in New York. Actually, thrilled doesn't even begin to describe it. "I'm ecstatic!" he said... He's so happy, he doesn't even mind the fact that John Tortorella is going to yell at him more than Wayne Gretzky did in Phoenix. "Wayne's a little easier on the guys." He's even happy to be playing with Sean Avery, a player he has had a few scraps with along the way back when Avery was in the Western Conference. "I didn't know what to expect, what type of guy he is," Morris said after his first game alongside his former antagonist. Happy to go from "The Great One" to "The Grate One" -- imagine that!
