Would be better if the in-goal cam was actually right in the middle of the post, but that would compromise the uniformity of the post.
"Conclusively" being the operative word, since that is required to overturn the ruling on the ice.

The challenge here is we see the minimum angles as a viewer. I read somewhere the video goal judges for each game have at least 4 different camera angles and they often are consulting with the situation room for every game. The situation room has something like 15 different camera angles so I wouldn’t be surprised they had a conclusive angle that showed the puck was in.
