Reads to me like it won't count if they take it during play. If they take it after the whistle then it counts.

Yeah, it's weirdly written in the NHL rule book.
Kerry Fraser tweeted about it tonight too, and he made it sound like any Winnipeg penalty would have been wiped out by the goal, which is a stupid rule if true.
The IIHF rule book is much more clear in this case, and it definitely depends on the order of events. That happened in the Olympics last year. A goal was scored and an infraction was committed by the team scored upon after the goal and they still got the penalty.
That's the only example I can think of, and it was under IIHF rules. It would be stupid if the NHL rules were different, but the NHL has some stupid rules.
