If it's not a good goal and the other team goes on to score, then no problem that goal counts. Otherwise you would essentially be saying, well the 1st disputed play was actually a goal, but too bad the whistle didn't blow so tough luck. That doesn't make sense.
My issue is when a Stanley Cup is awarded like that. Both teams, waiting to face-off, and the ref just says "oh yeah, that double-post that happened three minutes ago was actually in, so we don't need to drop the puck, and uh, you win."

Who the hell would want to win like that?
