The 1st Oilers no-goal featured a puck that was underneath Markstrom's goal, and was eventually poked free, after the whistle. You aren't allowed to poke the puck out of the goalie's glove so it shouldn't have been a goal even if the whistle didn't "blow early" IMO.
McDavid's interference was a no-brainer call that they got right again.
Toffoli's goal that was called back was just blatantly wrong, because the puck was loose the entire time and not jammed out from under Smith illegally. Just a terrible early whistle that would have seen a 4-4 score instead.

This can't be more perfectly said - I have the exact same perspective.
