I don't think Pittsburgh is going to have much trouble especially with Sid healthy. I know that the organization has sold tickets out through 2020 or something like that, which is good, but still doesn't mean EVERYONE shows up. So every time they announce a sell out it doesn't necessarily mean the bldg is full to capacity, as was seen when Sid first went down two years ago.
Regardless, what are your thoughts for how the rest of the league is going to do? Big market teams should be okay in light of everything, but the NHL lost so much ground with the lockout that they had gained in the past 7/8 years with 2005's return.
On top of this, will the refs start calling games like they were in 05/06/07? Or are they going to let the clutching and grabbing slowly start to work it's way back into the game as they had been recently before the lockout?
