Watched noodles take on it on TSN and this was for sure a good goal. Tracking the puck shows it actually connect with Crosby's body before dropping to the right of Elliott and into the net. It never was close to Elliott's glove and even though Crosby slashed it the argument could be made that Elliott didn't really have a chance at the puck which made it inconclusive in terms of the goal.
Tough call none the less and as they pointed out it will be really tough to see a call like this decide a game in the playoffs.
