Offside relies on two things, the position of the puck and the position of the player(s) (and the player's skate). That's where it becomes much more complicated.
Hawk-eye could help determine the position of the puck, but that's the easy part. Figuring out exactly where a player's skate blade was at that exact moment is where it becomes hard, especially when they've decided to get as ridiculous about it as they have.
The League could do many things to fix the problem with the offside reviews. They could rewrite the rule itself. They could change the review process, or they could change the standards used for the review. For some reason, they have decided not to do any of those things, yet.
