I figured the Wings would flourish in the Eastern Conference but that hasn't been the case so far. The Wings have been put on a pedestal as a team that plays the right way with their possession style but IMO they have always got away with a lot of interference/obstruction that maybe was better suited to the more grinding Western Conference. Possibly not as easy to get away with all their obstruction and slowing down teams in the more free wheeling Eastern Conference.
