KooKoo’s dream of continuing the series and the final place, ie with the power of the opening goal, for a moment, but Tappara’s avalanche to victory and the final was inevitable.
Tappara was clinical in the break, downright rude. The winning scores for both the match and the series were recorded at 4-1.
– This was the best in the series for us, skipper Otto Rauhala sums.
– We were on the game.
KooKoo’s great season culminates in the opportunity for a bronze medal.
– KooKoo was good and tenacious and managed to play our strengths a bit away, but we found great ways to win, Rauhala ruoti.
– It tells a lot about us that even though it was awkward at the beginning of the matches, we were able to play on the rise.
Supernelon
Tappara quadruped Petteri Puhakka–Rauhala–Joona Luoto was again fiery and effective.
– Joona and Puhis play pretty well and straightforwardly.
Puhakka made a valuable handicap in the opening round and KooKoo’s back was a 3–1 hit at the start of the closing round. Luoto and Rauhala built the defender as a crown Otto to Widow a tasty spot for the last hit in the semiseries.
– It can be misleading to be a Nelonen, Rauhala said.
– We have breadth and decision-making power in all fields.
Luoto’s player balance is 7 + 8, Rauhala 3 + 5, Puhakan 4 + 3, plus and minus speak the same language: Luoto +10, Rauhala +9, Puhakka +9.
– We rely on hard work, skating and pressure, Rauhala said.
– We have been exploited and effective in places.
“Travel in progress”
The start date of the final series has not yet been announced.
– Let’s go grind, Rauhala snorted.
– The trip is very bad.
