And yeah... nothing wrong with the goal, except for breaking a rule. (Isn't the view I just took a reasonable one?).

I'll acknowledge that you make a fine point. However, I'm not totally ignorant about hockey. Although I have never officiated the game, I did grow up playing it and got to a pretty high level in junior hockey. Let's just say that I was good enough that Kevin Constantine was my coach at one point.
I just think that the league was mistaken and that rule was ridiculous. I'm glad that the goal counted.
