As for the second point in the post (the one I assume you're referring to), yes it sucks that close calls are reviewed and sometimes reversed. But they are. We now have replays. Complaining about that isn't an argument, it's simply an opinion. And doesn't change the fact that they got the call right.
Well no...he didn't miss the point, Foss did. The original post was about reviews, not about letter of the law.

And you are mistaken, offsides have never been called this way because refs have never had access to slow motion replay. That's the whole point. People prefer small amounts of human error to awful and frequent delays to the hockey game.

And complaining about replays is an argument. It is an argument for why they suck and are ruining otherwise great playoffs. And the fact they got the call right doesn't change any of that.
