From my understanding, their argument of "disallowing" the goaltending score was that when they "discovered" that the teams were going in the wrong direction (thanks to them), that their argument (or claim) is that by rule, you cannot have a shot attempt at the wrong basket, so when they blew it dead for a violation, the basket (or score in this case), doesn't count.
They would've been right had they not put them in the wrong direction to start, so anything that happened. . .counts.
This was just the icing on the cake on a game that was littered (seriously), with phantom calls galore. . .
Just my $.02 cents worth. . .
