This whole Gelinas & Bennett putting pucks into the goalie's skate dragging behind the line thing is the worst. The same situation happened twice over a decade apart and each time a goal denied. Both are behind the line because the goalie's skate is at least a puck length behind the line in both cases before the puck makes contact with it, but the goalies kick out so fast both times that you simply don't have enough frames there on top of snow flying and the bad angle to see it "conclusively".
But when you tackle it from the standpoint of simple logic though, it's undeniable.
