Maybe I am missing something obvious, but why wouldn't they just do that? It's not like they made the decision based on the available tapes at the time and other footage was found later to counter the decision. They actually looked at the wrong replay and made their decision looking at the wrong footage. So I don't think it is a slippery slope argument where decisions will often get overturned after intermission.
The officials screwed up, plain and simple. Pretty bush league to not rectify it at the time.

Fully agree with what you said. I personally hate anything to do with instant replay, it just gives refs the ability to not call stuff and if Toronto overturns them they just shrug. Get rid of the replay, nobody knows what they are calling anyway - see goaltender interference, and make the refs actually do their jobs.
