I think someone on the TEAM 1040 called the league to ask about the decision, and was informed that there actually ISN'T any rule that says you have to see the puck across the goal line. As long as they can confidently determine that it was fully across, it can be deemed a good goal.

In this case, they did know where the puck was... under the pad. The entire pad was across the goal line.

Therefore, the puck had to have been completely across the goal line.
