HOCKEY IS BACK! But don't worry, we're not abandoning the virtual Oilers. We'll still be here simulating the ENTIRE rest of the season!

Yakupov explodes, (virtual) Oilers win 2 in a row: http://t.co/Lw2rfV5D

Hartikainen rings one off the post to end the game. A microcosm of the (virtual) Oilers' night. Final score: 3-1 win for the Red Wings.

Franzen a beast out there tonight; strong, lots of shots, great vision.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Khabibulin pulled with a minute left in 3rd. Extra attacker out for (virtual) Oilers.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Oilers with some good pressure in the Red Wings' zone, but nothing emerging out of it.

FYI: "Top ched" is slang for top shelf, corner.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Petry robbed by a Howard glove save. Wrist shot was going top ched.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Another power play coming up for Oilers. Third time's the charm?

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

On a 2-on-1, Hemsky decides to shoot (!) for once instead of pass, turned away by Howard's blocker.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Taylor Hall a wrecking ball out there, trying to will his team back to life. Unfortunately, his teammates aren't helping him much.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Krueger starts Oilers 2nd power play unit to start the man advantage, perhaps sending the kids a message.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Datsyuk called at 3:47 of the 3rd for slashing. Oilers 2nd PP of the night.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Kid line is -2 after 2 periods. Not a strong night for them so far.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Red Wings increase their lead to two after an unattended Drew Miller slapper finds its way past Khabibulin (19:45). 3-1 Red Wings.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Khabibulin makes great glove save off Zetterberg laser. Nik's looking good this period after a shaky first twenty.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

Whitney almost scores off a shot from the blueline; Howard has to look behind him to make sure it didn't squeak through his pads.

[Game On Oilers Blog @OilersGameOn]

(Virtual) Detroit's puck possession game is ridiculous. The Oilers have barely touched the puck for the first five minutes of the 2nd.
