In theory, if a guy is deking(and not shooting causing a rebound), a goalie could take a big swipe, make full contact with the puck and if the puck goes off the players shin and bounces favoruably, he can tuck it and score and it would be allowed. Picture my scenario and think how stupid that would be if it were allowed.
Goalie's touch of the puck should kill the play in my eyes.
