He just turned his boot open, which is a subtle difference.
As mentioned, this is not applied the same. Gaudreau did the exact same year or two ago and called back. Have to find it.

Yeah, at what point does it become a kick? I thought it looked blatant until the slowmo angle, where it looked like he stuck his skate out to redirect it.
But then his skate follows through into the air somewhat. Hard to call, but I didn't disagree with the call.
As you said though, that exact goal would be reversed by different refs or with different teams involved, for sure.
