A note on First Flight.
Wondering if having 16,000 screaming kids at practice disrupts a team's playing ability in the next game ...
Last year's First Flight Field Trip was held on February 21, 2007. The Ducks' next game was played at Dallas on Feb. 23. Dallas won that game 4-1.
Since that game was on the road, and tomorrow the Ducks play Colorado at home, it's not a great scientific experiment. But if the Ducks lose, feel free to raise your eyebrows.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
