The thing that makes the safety argument invalid is that you can kick in the crease, as long as a goal isn’t scored right from the kick. You can kick to your stick, kick to a teammate, kick to stop a puck if you’re a defender. Hell, you can even kick the puck at the net as long as it goes off someone else first. All perfectly legal.
