Distinct kicking motion is inherently a subjective term. The only way to establish the definition is through past precedence. On Coleman's goal, they completely ignored past precedence and pretended like this was the first ever goal of its kind. On so many other calls, they specifically refer to past precedence to justify their ruling, yet on this one, they somehow don't mention it at all.

Not only that, the NHL went out of their way to delete videos highlighting acceptable goals.
