I'm going to retract my interpretation of what Dave said. After re-reading the post I realize he said the referees do not have to make the estimation as to whether the ball would have gone in.
However, I still don't feel this would have been called goaltending. Although, I don't have a real good reason why, other than my interpretation of Dave and the rules.
