Are You Kidding Me? Comparing Taylor Hall vs Tyler Seguin?

After last night`s Boston vs Tampa game the whole hockey world raved about Tyler Seguin and his 4 point night. I will say his 2 goals were pretty nice, but the assists were not highlight stuff (secondary assists). I wake up this morning and the big talk is Hall vs Seguin. Again? Really? In my opinion there is no comparison. Two different players on two different teams. Hard to say what`s what. Put it this way, Seguin was benched for 11 playoff games and when he finally drew in, he made it count. But if he was sooooo good, why didn`t he play in those other 11 games? Taylor Hall would have. Compare that. ;) The Edmonton Oilers have the better player. -WRITTEN BY SMOKIN` RAY-

Stockton Arena Review by StadiumJourney.com

I was sent an email a little while ago (I forgot about it) from a website that does arena reviews. Paul Swaney, the president and co-founder of StadiumJourney.com asked me to check it out and tell him what I thought. Well...

I loved his review on the Stockton arena. The Edmonton Oilers ECHL team, the Stockton Thunder call this place home for a good part of the year.

Stadium Journey rates everything that involves the arena and location. From the neighbourhood the arena is in, to the food and beverages that they serve, to how good the fans are.

The Stockton arena's highest rating was a 5 out of 5 for the Return of Investment category. They loved the value you get when buying a ticket. They loved that this is very much a family friendly place to take your children.

The lowest rating the arena was given? A 2 out of 5 in the Extras category. Other than the cheesy stuff, they found the puck toss to be entertaining. It's a start, but that definitely needs to be better.

I'd recommend that you should read this review.

You Can Track Batman.. I Mean Daryl Katz?

Remember the Dany Heatley to the Oilers episode? Yeah... so do I.

Not much good became of that situation except maybe this tip I got from a reader. I was told that if I went to this page, I could track the private plane of Daryl Katz.

Hmmm... Really?

While I'm not 100% positive that this really is his plane, but I did watch this plane fly back and forth between Edmonton and Kelowna when they were trying to "sweet talk" Heatley into becoming an Edmonton Oiler. So take it as you will.
