but Gonz was infering that teams like the Wings have that advantage, too......
It also would depend on who has the home ice advantage. Traveling for that extra game (if a series goes to 7) would also add up the milage.
My point was, I don't think there is any team that has had to travel more for their quest for the cup than the Wings have had since the realignment.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

100% (edit in) correct
Pussy Easterners
For a West Coast team to win the cup involves not only great skill, but super human stamina.
*IF a change is made to make DET an Eastern team permanently (WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFF TRAVEL!) that would just make their fans pussies like the other Eastern team fans that complain about the travel their team needs to make out west.
BFD
Let me ask you, is it more time consuming to fly from DET to anywhere in the N.E. or S.E. than it is from ANA?
During a years time, what team travels more miles, including the playoffs?19.1119, NO LONGER WAITING

Its not so much time travel time, its also the time zone difference. The only other team in the Western Conference that's in the Eastern Time Zone besides Detroit is Columbus. The Western Conference is spread across all 4 time zones, where as the Eastern Conference is localized to just the Eastern Time Zone.
Anyways, my desire to see the Wings in the Eastern Conference has nothing to do with the travel as it does the fact that I'd rather watch them compete against the other teams in the East as I previously mentioned, Montreal, Toronto, Rangers, Bruins, Flyers, etc.Lions free since 6/23/2020

Others ran with the subject matter and turned the topic solely into playoff travel details.
Its a long season before the playoffs even start.19.1119, NO LONGER WAITING

Based on that and without doing any research, I would expect the Wings to have more success on the road trips than their first couple games home AFTER the trip. But it all depends on how much time they have to relax after the trip home.My hipocracy goes only so far.
