Yeah I don't think it's bias, it's just incompetence.
The issue is that this type of thing makes sports less fun for fans. And improvements in things like replay technology are shining more of a spotlight on it.
It is true that the better team won the series. But it is irrelevant to this discussion. At a critical moment in the series the wrong call was made.

The most damning evidence is the large number of goals people can find where the goal was similar or even more of a kick, and it counted.

That's what the NHL should have to explain. How can those count and this one not?

You want officials to have minimum influence on an outcome. Last night they had a massive one. And that's failure on the NHL's part.
