I've been watching hockey for 40 years, and I've never seen that call made that way. I'm embarrassed at that call.

Coleman pushed, at speed, trying to stop before he runs into the post for his own health and to make sure he doesnt knock off net.
Coleman didn't change his body or leg (considering speed he was going, while getting shoved) position. He was going to that spot on the ice whether the Puck was in the net or over the glass. Puck his his skate and goes in
Coleman's skate gets out of the way before hitting the post, preventing injury.
Called a goal on the ice. No Oiler challenge. League decides to do the Oilers a favour.
