The Carolina Hurricanes played a digital matchup against  Justin Faulk and the St. Louis Blues last night in lieu of a real world game, winning in amazing fashion.

Do you miss hockey? I do. We all do. Luckily the Carolina Hurricanes gave us a small relief from the lack of hockey in the world last night when they streamed a NHL 20 simulated game between themselves and the St.Louis Blues on twitter.

For those of us who do not have twitter and may have missed this virtual game, have no fear, because, just like a real game, I’m going to breakdown the game and give you some digital takeaways from the night Justin Faulk digitally came back to Raleigh.

Now this game was fully simmed 20 actual minutes per period and streamed via periscope on twitter. Those of you who want to rewatch the game can do so right here:

The Canes took care of business at home and surged their way to a digital 6-3 comeback win over the Blues in a game that was a virtual must win.

Here are a few of the virtual takeaways from a taste of the good life.
