As far as I can tell, the refs cannot initiate a goal review unless there is a direct challenge from the opposing team coach. The only other review can be initiated by the situation room in Toronto, but that's only in the last minute of the game.
I question whether woodcroft would have challenged that play considering that it certainly wasn't cut and dry and that it would have given the flames a power play he was wrong.
I'd really like to understand this point of the game. It may not have changed the outcome of the series. It may not have even changed the outcome of the game, but it certainly was a pivotal point.

I looked this up after the game.
There are certain infractions that aren't covered by Coaches Challenge that can be initiated by NHL Head Office at any time of the game.
Kicking motion falls under that category.
Still don't think it was conclusive evidence to overturn a call on the ice, but it is what it is.
