I think the Toronto war room was all like, do we really want Anaheim in a final against Tampa? Hells no count that goal and finish them!
His skate never left the ice. A bending of the knee or a swinging of the leg IMO is a distinct kicking motion. Hossa's goal was a subtle ankle twist, he for sure directed it in with his skate, but that is okay.
