FORT LAUDERDALE _ The NHL's brightest stars are in town this weekend for the All-Star Game, basking in the South Florida sunshine and celebrating what's right with hockey.

They're showing off a sport that many say is enjoying one of its best seasons on the ice.

Just below that veneer, however, there's plenty that isn't right with hockey.

The Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres filed for bankruptcy protection this month. Six teams _ Ottawa, Buffalo, Dallas, Nashville, Anaheim and Vancouver _ are for sale. And owners across the league, including Panthers majority owner Alan P. Cohen, are complaining of millions in losses that threaten to push them out, as well.

The players' Collective Bargaining Agreement doesn't expire until September 2004, but already the NHL is sounding the drumbeat for change. Both sides are compiling war chests, bracing for what is expected to be an ugly labor battle.
