I have to say calls for and against the Flames aside, I find it very annoying to my experience. And some of the so called goalie interference denied goals have been bad.
I dislike this coaches challenge. A lot.
The fact there have so many successful ones though shows that a lot of calls are wrong on the ice...and it's needed.
So I don't know how to fix it.

I just don't see how people can claim it slows the game down. One challenge per side, at most they take a few minutes. You're looking at a max of 5 minutes of delays, and as you say, they are being used and overturning important things.
When comparing this to most other sports, hockey is still one of the best for time watched vs gameplay time. And the gameplay is by far the fastest out of any sport. I just don't see how taking 5 minutes to make sure goals are goals is a bad thing.
