Whats next...a guy knocked that one down with a high stick 2 mins ago, should have been a whistle but wasn't called. Reset the clock

Right, nobody thought it was offside, but it was. But once again, if the play was offside then how can they be in the zone to score a goal? They cannot, hence the goal does not count no matter how long they were in the zone before they scored. Because they shouldn't have been there in the first place.

EDIT - Here's an offside in the Jets/Caps game that was said to be a good goal, despite the trailing leg of the Jets player not being grounded when the puck enters the zone.

Yeah, I understand that, but GG has used it in the first period and when his guys don't need a time out. Something obvious later in the game he cannot challenge. Plus he loses his timeout. The team has to be smarter with these.
