The NHL said "The situation room initiated a video review to further examine if the puck crossed the Anaheim goal line before the net became displaced. The referee informed the situation room that Anaheim goaltender John Gibson was interfered with before the puck crossed the goal line. This is not a reviewable play (by the league) and therefore the referee's call on the ice stands - no goal Calgary."
The referee said "The call on the ice stands, there is no goal, there was goaltender interference with the goalie."
According to Gulutzan he was told Toronto said it was goaltender interference.
The NHL statement said that goaltender interference isn't reviewable by the league, which means the referee shouldn't have mentioned interference as it wasn't relevant to the review.
Regardless whether the goal should have counted or not; this is a MASSIVE mistake by the officials (and I tend to think on-ice as they weren't giving proper information).
These are the NHL playoffs, the fact that this happened is simply unacceptable.
