This is just ridiculous. The fact that someone looks at these multiple angles and can say it wasn't across the line just destroys my entire world view. How can that be possible? Whether it was in the air or not, it was completely flat and clearly a good amount of space between the puck and the goal line. Much more conclusive than 04 IMO.
If it is off the ice at all (and when you click on that picture to blow it up, it definitely is off the ice), that 45 degree angle is completely meaningless. Try holding an object on your desk an inch above the edge of your desk. Look at it at a 45 degree angle and it is pretty easy to see "desk" in front of the object even if you are holding it well in front of the edge of the desk.

I wouldn't have been happy if they would have used that angle to reverse a call that gave them a goal.
