i have no problem with it.
It's like in baseball if the ball is on a trajectory to go foul but someone picks it up, then everything after that is fair game.
The other team (the goalie) touched puck and kept the play alive. Unfortunate, but it is what it is.
I agree that the intent is to prevent players from recklessly kicking at the goalie. If it starts getting to that point, maybe they will need to revisit the rule.
