I don't really have a problem with these kicked in goals counting, I guess, but if they're going to not count you need a consistent rule. I'd go with something even simpler, i.e. "it only counts if the blade of the skate must be touching the ice at the time the puck contacts it", but that would cause a bunch of problems when someone's skating and their foot is off the ice and it goes off their shin or something.

I would maybe allow all goals off skates at first instance, and then have a rule against dangerous plays, one of which is defined as kicking out with the skate blade near an opposing player. And call the latter strictly to disincentivize it.
