Detroit and Pittsburgh are about 250 miles apart. I'm sure there have been two closer teams...

Answer 1

I think Toronto is closer to Detroit than Pittsburgh.

Answer 2

1982 Islanders-Vancouver are further apart than the Rags. 3023 from Uniondale to Vancouver

Chicago-Detroit( 1934,1961) for closest?

A well-deserved cross-check to my head for forgetting Isles-Philly @123 miles. At least I got the furthest right,lol.
