The league’s bottom team KooKoo secured a relieving 3-2 shootout victory over Tappara on Tuesday. The match was a close contest, but in the third period and overtime, KooKoo took three penalties, which handed the keys to the game to Tappara.

After the match, MTV commentator Antero Mertaranta asked KooKoo’s Miska Siikonen about the numerous penalties.

– Well, the referee can also look at how to whistle. He can’t just do it like that, seriously, Siikonen huffed.

– Damn it, when a guy falls, you always raise your hand. There has to be some sense in this.

The fiery Siikonen was one of KooKoo’s key players in the victory. He assisted on both of his team’s goals and scored the decisive goal in the shootout.

KooKoo’s games continue immediately on Wednesday against Kiekko-Espoo.
