Both the 30 and 45 degree angles showed the puck behind the goal line. By conclusive evidence, I think they just wanted to see the above view, yet the slight angle and crossbar in the way renders it obstructed and useless for any close calls. So that angle is out. so, you have others. but judging by the call, they completely dismissed those angles because they can be deceiving. EXCEPT that's only when the puck is airborne. Bennett slid the puck on the ice. It was twirling on edge, but in contact with the ice. it's just logical that if you can see even a sliver of ice between the puck and the line while it's travelling on the ice, there is no possible way that it isn't over the line.
Its pathetic that they put all weight on one angle that is too obstructed to accurately show what happened. it's not rocket science and while the Flames made up for the league's mistake, that simply should not happen in any playoff game, ever. 04 was one thing without high definition and limited angles, but this clearly and conclusively was a goal that could be determined through basic deductive reasoning.
fix it NHL.
