Can anybody show me a video of a player slashing the goalie with his skates while trying to "kick" the puck into the net with his hockey skates?

Not specifically no, but there is a video of a goalie getting slashed by a skate that is so horrific that the rule was made and no one is seriously interested in reversing it. Probably because they watched that video, once.
That being said, you also can’t throw or head but the puck in.
