Why was the goal line so faded and unclear?

Maybe it has to do with the crappy Mellon Arena with its warm indoor temperature and poor ice conditions, but there was almost a week before game 1 to get everything in proper shape.
Why not put sensors in the goalposts and goal line and something in the puck to turn on the red light? Jeeze every retail store has something like this to prevent theft. The NHL could definatly afford something more precise. By itself it wouldn't be the be-all-end-all but along with instant replay and the on and off ice officials it'd be a little more foolproof.
