But yes, Mcdonald's goal isn't the game winner, but is certainly the more iconic moment from that game/year.

In baseball, when it was an official stat (it no longer is), the GWH was the RBI which put the team ahead to stay.
Based on that, McDonald's should be the game winning goal. It put Calgary into the lead and they never trailed after that.
It seems silly that a game winning goal can be changed because of a late meaningless goal.
