We aren't talking about the future, we are talking about what ACTUALLY happened. You can argue that an extra few seconds will not change the outcome of a game 99/100 times (NOTE: not an actual statistic), but in this case at least, we can be 100% sure that not having that extra second would have prevented a goal. As such, the Kings did benefit. I hope you see the distinction.
And the reason for the fanfare around this glitch is that it has implications on playoff seeding in a tight Western Conference.
