Unsure if this has been posted yet, so sorry if it has.
But someone actually took the time to apply math to the situation and came out with a reasonable conclusion.
There are some great visuals along with the data he provides in coming up with his conclusion. Worth the read.

Thompson’s stick clearly makes contact with the puck outside the projected net profile, thereby proving that there was a high-sticking infraction on the play. The NHL’s decision was incorrect and the goal should not have counted.
Conclusion
Well, there you have it, Flames fans. You were right. The Flames were once again robbed of a playoff win via video review, and will fight to stay alive tomorrow night in Game 4. Our fingers are crossed for a better outcome, but if the Ducks manage to win again, we can all find comfort in the fact that Dennis Wideman will finally be off the books.
