Is there any reason why the NHL cannot use the Hawkeye goal decision system or GoalControl system that the EPL and FIFA use? I think in some cases they use 14 cameras on each goal.

"With the cameras all working at 340 frames per second, Dr Paul Hawkins believes that his invention will work to a variable accuracy of 4mm; well inside Fifa’s required 30mm variation. The cameras can deal with any obstructions in the goalmouth and, by recognizing the individual pattern of the ball, can differentiate between other round objects such as a balloon or even the head of a player."
