It's a terribly worded/structured rule.
Let's say it's an empty net at one end and the puck is resting on the goal line.
In theory, a player can skate from his own net to the center line, stop his stride, keep one foot on the ice in a stationary position, make contact with the puck to propel it into the net.
Now you have to say it's a good goal because there isn't a kicking motion but you still kicked the puck into the net.
