Newsmakers: Penguins Finally Get Deal For New Arena

THE DAILY each Friday offers our take on the performances over the past week of some people and entities in sports business. Here are this week’s newsmakers.

WIN: PENGUINS — It took months, actually years, but the team finally has a deal for a new arena. Co-Owner MARIO LEMIEUX, who no longer wants to sell the team, says he has always had two goals for the franchise — keep it in Pittsburgh and win the Stanley Cup. Lemieux: “We have one out of the two. It’s a good start.”

LOSE: TED SASKIN – The embattled union chief gets put on paid leave, and as the charges against him become more bizarre, even his long-time supporters seem resigned to the fact that he appears to have spent his last days running the NHLPA.

DRAW: MARCH MADNESS ON DEMAND –- CBS SportsLine.com offering doubles ad sales and expects another profit in year two. Service provides more than 1.5 million streams on NCAA tournament’s first day, but several users note first-day glitches including getting bumped, sloppy cuts to and from commercials and not getting the VIP access for which they had signed up early.
