Colorado has all the big name, big money players.

I disagree. Colorado has a lot of big name, big money players. The Rangers, however, have a metric assload of 'big talent' players, and they've sucked ass for several years running. At least Colorado /wins/ with their big name guys. Ricci got his Ring with the Avs, after all. :)

And ellie, I have to disagree with the 'spectacular playing of Owen Nolan'. He's been sucking lately, and he even admits it. Up until last night, he'd done squat. :)
