Here's another ranking of NHL arenas by a couple of guys who have visited every arena/stadium/ballpark in the big four North American sports.

They have the Saddledome ranked up pretty high as well. Granted, I believe they visited back in 2001 or 2002. Good detailed write ups on every experience they had at all the games.
