On first watch of the full speed clip I couldn't tell if that was a 0, 2, or 5 (albeit very different viewing angle and situation here on my laptop).

NHL could emulate rugby and fix this without a significant disruption to the game. It would be great to listen in as the review + on-ice officials discuss it. I hear the XFL is doing that, too.

I'd be fine with holding booth initiated reviews until the next TV timeout (until 10:00 in 3rd period, then it's next whistle). The key thing would be drawing the line to dangerous plays, and non-subjective rules violations (though I'd make a few changes in the rule book to reduce subjectivity, and reduce the number of potential reviews).
