Again, the crossbar is the deciding factor for a shot that goes into the net
The shoulders are the deciding factor for knocking a puck down to gain possession.
So on the first touch, the puck was below his shoulders, and for the 2nd the puck was contacted below the crossbar.
Toronto recently scored a similar goal where Spezza knocked the puck down to a teammate above the crossbar, which is legal.
