The first sentence is a giant catch all that could be applied to any goal under dispute, but the second sentence is clarification. Penalty calls are not reviewable by the current rule set, so even if the referees had wanted to review the play they couldn't have. It wasn't a debate as to whether or not the puck crossed the line, but whether or not the puck was dislodged because of an infraction. Penalties cannot be called from the replay booth, and the puck is clearly knocked in by Marleau cleanly.

<-- Hockey Referee. Everything is up to interpretation, and I'm sure Toronto took a good look at it, but they couldn't have done anything about it as penalties can only be called on the ice.

I didn't mean reviewed as in reviewed by the officiating crew, that was my bad wording. I realize that if the goal is good and no penalty was called before it crossed the line, it doesn't matter. I meant that it wasn't really talked about or reviewed by any of the media coverage. I shouldn't have used the word "reviewed" I should have said, "discussed in replay" or something along those lines.
