At least with kicking, there is an argument that it's dangerous. And using your hand, sure - you don't want people throwing pucks.
But why on earth disallow that? He purposely didn't use his hands, raise his stick, or do anything dangerous.

It's the rule, you must propel the puck with your stick.
A goal shall not be allowed if the following occurs: The puck has been thrown or deliberately directed into the goal by any means other than a stick, even if subsequently deflecting off any player, including goalkeeper, prior to entering the goal.
