In soccer in the UK, they have a chip in the soccer ball and detectors all round the goal that can detect when the ball goes completely over the line. The ref then gets an instant notification that its a goal.
Tennis use Hawkeye technology in similar way to good effect.
The fact that the NHL still are relying "conclusive" and "inconclusive" looks to made a decision isn't good enough. There has to be a way for the NHL to find a sports technology company to replicate these systems so computers make the calls that are too difficult for human eyes to distinguish.

They don't even need a "new technology". Just a high speed camera, that's all.
And it's not like they are prohibitively expensive either. It's a multi billion dollar business for petes sake.
