That was in the days of yore though. Goalies had no helmets, a stuffed sweatshirt for a chest protector and obviously no video review.
It’s a tough rule. The only solution I’ve ever been able to think of is any kicking motion or deflection, as long as your skate blade is on the ice should be a good goal. You can’t soccer kick a loose puck in but you can certainly side stop one in.
I’d be interested to see if it created more goalie injuries.
Gotta be a few high level goalies that would chime in here.
