I thought I'd like video review to "get things right", but after seeing multiple sports bring in and continue to expand video review, the more I wish it just went away all together. Ruins the flow of the game and when you can barely tell what happened in HD in slow motion, then it was close enough for the ref to simply make a judgement call. These things will balance out over time and we can just appreciate that humans are making calls and there will be errors.
My issue with it is I'm always wondering "was it offside?" after a goal. Kind of takes away from the excitement of scoring a goal. Trust your officials. I don't care if a guy is a centimeter offside. How often does the Duchene situation happen, once every 20 years? If that?

The NHL got along just fine without offside reviews for what, 97 or 98 years?

Review goals. That's it.
