The defending player contacted the goalie, in his crease, directly because of contact from behind by Tkachuk. If you're going to argue that brings it outside of the NHL's rule because it doesn't meet some overly literal definition of "pushed or shoved", you're pretty desperate to see this the Flames way.
And you have no way of saying definitively what would have happeed without the contact, as Hellybuck just missed the puck as is (and I notice you're no longer contending that the contact didn't cause him to move).
So I stand by my statement: If the sweaters were reversed, I (and I'd wager heavily you and all other Flames fans) would be pissed if the goal were allowed to stand, so am not going to turn hypocrite and cry foul when it goes against the Flames
