The referee’s decision in the Pelicans match left Antero Mertaranta stunned on MTV: “Now I have to say that…”
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.
