I agree, but then the most egregious misses -- Game 6 of 1980 Cup Final, Briere's way offside goal in Game 1 of the 2012 ECQF, to cite two examples -- would not be able to be overturned. Perhaps allowing the Situation Room to directly institute such reviews, with the intent of existing only for reviewing apparently blatant missed calls.

It's a game played by humans and officiated by humans. Mistakes happen and I'm actually fine with that.
Besides, far more advantages are given (or not given) by missed penalty calls, or penalty calls that shouldn't have been called, than by missed offside calls. Video review can't be used for everything so singling out the offside call when 99.99%* of all of those calls are made correctly is silly. (*hyperbole but I'm certain that the overwhelming majority of offside calls are made correctly in real time)
Imho the only valid use for video review is in the question of did the puck cross the goal line for a goal.
