In the Pelicans and Tappara match on Wednesday, a controversial situation was seen at the end of the first period.

Pelicans’ Aidan Dudas broke away for a breakaway. A Tappara player hooked the baggy-nosed forward, who lost his balance in the situation. No penalty or penalty shot was called for this.

MTV’s match commentator Antero Mertaranta was astonished by the referee’s decision.

– Here comes a breakaway… and no hand goes up! Oh dear. Now I have to say, we need to see that situation again. If the hand doesn’t go up for that situation, then when does it? Mertaranta exclaimed.

– It’s quite strange to be honest. Aidan Dudas even goes to acknowledge it, and the audience here is rightfully reacting.

A moment later, the situation was shown again.

– What can you say about that other than that it’s clearly a hooking situation, but nothing comes of it, Mertaranta said.

– Yes, a few players are rightfully going to acknowledge the referees. That was a very weak performance, and it doesn’t lead anywhere.

At the halfway point of the second period, the match is at a 1-1 tie.
