Preds are feeling blue
Stars defensemen tough to crack

Preds are feeling blue - Nashville, Tennessee - Saturday, 12/30/06 - Tennessean.com

In the battle of the blueliners, the Dallas Stars average almost a decade more NHL experience than the Predators.

Those years add up to a lot of lessons learned and a lot of techniques perfected.

In recent years, the Predators have felt the brunt of that experience, which is about 13.17 years per Dallas defenseman.

In the past 11 games against the Stars, Nashville has just one win and one tie. On Friday, the Predators lost 4-1.

"They have a culture here," Predators Coach Barry Trotz said. "They have a lot of veteran guys, and they are hard to rattle."
