I think your wrong, the goal was initially called off due to incidental contact.
Also the crease is a suggestion not a hard rule you can't stop a goalie from making a save. I'm guessing they called this a good goal because the felt that Elliot could actually make a save.
Personally and I'm a homer, I think it should have been called off.
