I don't think it was Quick's complaining that led the refs to discuss the play, but rather the ability of the officiating crew to discuss plays like that one that led to the conversation after the goal. Totally legit.

To me, the biggest talking point of that play is this new initiative by the refs to have a conference to discuss a play and have the power to take the goal back. That's just asking for controversy. Now you're giving a fairly big say in the matter to refs who were outside the zone and who can only go on one look at full speed. I think plays like that should be over turned if goalie interference is found, but I'm of the mind video replay is the way to do so and not these officiating crew conferences.
