There will of course be no consequences.

Exactly. The rule isn’t whether the skate pushes the puck into the net. The rule is whether there is a “distinct kicking motion” so that players aren’t trying to kick their skates in the crease and soccer the puck into the net.
Coleman continued skating towards the puck — which he is allowed to do — and then his skate literally stopped as he fell/was pushed onto the ice. It won’t make a difference at the end of the day but I’d like to hear a justification for why the call on the ice was overturned.
