To me, it's cut and dry. You cannot touch the puck after the goalie's stopped it. Even if the goalie only gets a slight piece of it, and it looks like it's going in anyway... if the player touches it, they're an idiot because now it's no-goal.
There's no reason I can think of for allowing that goal to count once you acknowledge that it A) was saved by Vladaar and B) was directed into the net by the shooter with thier stick.
Edit: This is where I wish we were privy to the conversations during the review. It's ridiculous that we have to try to guess why they made a call. Also, I'd like to hear if TO said no-goal, but on-ice overruled.
