As I can recall, the play happened so quickly that no one even suspected it might have been a goal in the moment. You can see in the play-calls that neither the NBC nor the CBC crew thought anything different than that Khabibuklin made a great save; the players clearly didn't think it was a goal either. Speculation did not occur until the NBC crew went to see the replay, and I suspect it was around that point that the NHL also went back to look at their camera views.
