what players and fans like about it is that it's decisive one way or another, and the computer doesn't (or shouldn't) have an agenda. there's no additional arguing with an official...just accept and move one. I'm thinking it would be the same for hockey except for the few obligatory crackpot conspiracy theorists.

It won't work for goals, which is what it was being discussed about before. Too many obstructions for the cameras. The Hawk-eye company does, I think, supply the tech for actual video reviews.
