If I were with SLU, I would have protested the game if that is the 
actual grounds for changing the ruling.  Stoppage of play by the 
official is not one of the allowed grounds for video review -- see pages 
HR-78 and HR-79 of this season's playing rules.

Mind you, I'd be in favor of the timing of the whistle being subject to 
review, but it's not in the rules and Colgate was famously denied an 
overtime goal in the Albany regional several years back because of a 
supposedly early whistle by Fitzy (when it appeared to this observer 
that the puck was in the net before the whistle, although I was at the 
other end of the ice).
