Also, why can't they review a play if offside is suspected (like on the Duchene goal last season)? The NHL should be interested in ensuring the right call is made on all scoring plays.

2 reasons for not doing it.
1) Length and flow of game are paramount to keeping fans attention. Right now, this is the single biggest reason for so few reviewable plays
2) Reviewing judgement calls can lead to a many controversies as they eliminate. Somebody still has to make a call that many people week disagree with. It would have fixed the Vancouver goal, but many others would become more controversial.
