I think there also needs to be more discussion of that goal called off. How often is a ref so out of position that he misses both a loose puck crossing the goal line and a player putting his hand directly over the puck in the crease.
Did they ever show the angle of the puck crossing the line overlayed with the whistle audio? Sure feels to me like that ref was going with "I had intended to blow the whistle" so it doesn't matter.
