Re: Does anybody know their NHL Rules well?

It is as if subsiquent action never existed. If the next stoppage occurs due to an apparent goal, the first goal (the missed one) would count, but the second one (the cause of the stoppage) would not.
The penalty carries over. It keeps a player who may know that a goal was missed from taking the opportunity to run amuck.

This is the correct answer. A penalty is a penalty, and it count as long as it occurred after the goal was scored.
Think of it this way -- if a "normal" goal was scored (ie. one where it is ruled a goal immediately), and then once play stops a player punches another player in the face, there is no question that this is a roughing penalty. The scenario the OP described is basically the same.
