Way to miss the point.
If skaters were allowed to kick at the puck in the goal mouth, a lot more goalies would have various portions of their anatomy sliced.

But kicking very rarely occurs in the crease, because at that point the only reason for a skater to touch the puck is to try to score, and he can only do that with his stick.
What you're asking for is open season for goalies to be attacked with knives when they're trying to freeze the puck.
