The question is why doesn't the "war room" have these projections, straight line markers and models at every single camera angle pre-programmed so that things like parallax, the tilted cameras and such can be assisted? My imagination of the war room is two old guys staring at one camera angle and making a decision just squinting a bit harder than the refs.

If anything, the NHL should (if they're not already) be investing into puck sensor technology. It could be used to tell if the puck crosses the line, and at what height a high stick hits the puck. When video proves to be inconclusive (which was the argument here), the puck tracker can verify. Soccer and tennis has the ability to do this, so should hockey, which is a sport that badly need it since stuff happens at split seconds.
