He has a point IF the puck is in the air.
In the case of the Bennett shot, it was flat. You can see that in the photo above as it was heading towards the goal line, so what could've made it sudddenly jump in the air? Nothing, until it hit the pad which was behind the line. That should've 100% been a goal.
The Gelinas shot was much closer, and the puck was rolling. Much higher chance of it coming off the ice and creating the illusion. Non sufficient replays at the time means it was too close to call. Just not enough evidence to make it a goal I think.. even though I believe it was in fact in.
Who are we kidding though. If that series happened today they'd still call it off and spew their geometry BS.
