You're essentially saying your fine with missed offsides resulting in goals because it annoys you the flow of the game is disrupted. Sorry, but that's not a good thing. I very much doubt you'd have such passion on the topic if it was the Sharks who had the missed offside call and the goal was against us.
The annoying thing about coach's challenge on offsides is how long it takes. That's the only downfall. Imagine if it was robots and laser sensors that detected how offside we're called. Gaudreau's goal wouldn't have counted, and that's the correct call.
Any change in rules that allows for the correct calls to be made, is a good thing.

By that sentiment then you and others who agree here hope that eventually every play, call, non-call and etc. is eventually reviewable so that "the right call" can be made?
I'm sorry, but at the end of the day "missed calls" are a part of the game and always will be you have to weigh the benefits to the flow of the game as well.
These arguments of "directly" and "indirectly" affecting the game are like multiverse arguments, e.g. this undetected boarding call would not have caused the goal that happened 5 minutes later because the goal scorer would have been in the sin bin for a major, so that should be reviewable and retracted?
Really, it's all ridiculous IMO.
