It's conceivable that under that suggested rule there will be a disallowed goal where a puck happens to go in off of an attacking player's skate that's barely in the crease and nowhere near the goalie, of course. You just have to decide if you're okay with that being called back or not.
The problem is not the rules. You can write rules and rules and more rules.

The problem are the people interpreting the rules.

You think you can write enough rules that it functions like a pachinko machine and that then you can place any ol' person into the role and then viola, consistent results!

You're basically going for the flat tax approach, when there's simply too many edge cases that need to be accounted for.
