The only thing in questions to me is why they did not ask for a review right away, or perhaps why were they unaware a review was going to occur?

They called no goal and the siren went off immediately after which was Toronto calling them to let them know what was missed.
This, amidst everyone on the ice and on TV calling the game expressing that this was a goal.
Prior to that the officials even got together to discuss this as a group before registering the incorrect call.
