Looks like they made the right call on the no-goal. Contact from the Bruins player took the goalie out of the play and the goal was scored as a result. The Bruin wasn't forced into the goalie by the Giant player. I'd say it was incidental contact in the crease, so, assuming the WHL rule book is the same as the NHL rule book in this case, it should be a no-goal without a penalty.

The only complaint I would have about it is that goalie over-sold the hit but that doesn't change the fact that he was hit and unable to make the save as a result.
