I'm not sure why they have a need to get this right to the mm when the line is a couple cm under the ice anyway. Linesmen are generally pretty good on these calls. It doesn't need to be called to the mm, and they aren't getting back the calls that incorrectly went the other way. Allow replays for something egregious like a linesman missing a player way past the line, but it adds nothing to the game or integrity to take away goals where a guy is a couple mm offside.
