You could go the other way and allow all goals not done with some other illegal play (eg hand/high stick) subject to dangerous plays not being allowed, like in soccer where you can’t do a scissor kick if it’s near another player’s head.
That's all it takes.

Allow everything, except for the hand, subject to dangerous plays not being allowed.

In 50+ years of playing and watching hockey, I have never seen a kick, not a dangerous one. but if it happens, disallow it.

IMO, if you can direct a puck into the net with your skate - good on ya! NHL goalies are good.
