Some say that the Detroit Red Wings are in the Western Conference because of the locations of the Eastern Conference teams. The Red Wings want to be in the Eastern Conference because then they wouldn't have to go on all the west coast trips they take every year to play teams like Anaheim and San Jose. Actually it is because of their original location in the early years of the NHL. Detroit and Chicago are the farthest west of all of the original 6 teams. This is the reason why both were and are still currently in the Western Conference
