San Jose game was pretty bad, but in the past few years, the Saddledome has generally been rocking.
Rexall has always been a disapointment to me, given how much Edmonton fans like to brag about how great they are. But then, I've never been there for a playoff game. Either way, I've always said that 16,839 Flames fans in Rexall would sound just as loud. Just as 19,289 Oiler fans in the Saddledome would be similar. For the most part, atmosphere is about the building more than it is the fans. Tampa was electric, but that had a lot to do with the fact it was game 7.
Medicine Hat is one of the best places to go if you want atmopshere at a hockey game. Lethbridge not so much.
