It wasn't a phantom goal. Calgary Flames put a puck in the net that would have given them a 3-1 lead in the game and the referees blew it. It was Game 6 in Calgary and a win would have given the Flames the series 4 games to 2. Instead Tampa scored later to tie and then won it 3-2 and moved the series to T Bay for the 7th Game.
Replays did show the puck crossed the line. Such a bad non-call would not happen today.
