It sucks, because that puck was in, but no replay was asked for so there was no reason for the officials to check. It is just disappointing. What I am still bitter about in that series was Kerry Fraser taking only Commodore to the box when he was scrumming it up with a Lightning player after a whistle when Fraser knew we were already getting a penalty. He made a conscious decision to put us down 5 on 3 instead of 5 on 4, and it directly lost us a game.
THAT is the play I am still bitter about from that series. And that was a moment that everyone in arena knew right away we got screwed. It was also why Fraser never returned to Calgary to officiate a game until some time in 2007.

I think even if it went to replay it would be deemed inconclusive. Similar to Bennetts non goal in the 2015 series vs Anaheim.
Unless you have Hawkeye, you can't know for sure.
