    Distinct kicking motion rule needs to be straightened out

    Someone please explain to me how Sedin's goal in the playoffs last spring is disallowed and Horcoff's goal on Sunday is counted because I'm sure that Mike Murphy is incapable of doing so.

    Here they are...

    LOL Horcoff's goal looked like way more of a distinct kicking motion than Sedin's obviously. Sedin's wasn't even a kick he was turning through the crease. They need to just get rid of this stupid rule, there's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to kick it in.

    I think one of the main reasons why is safety, no need to encourage these guys to kick around their sword shoes!

    I do agree that kicking should be okay, I just could understand this as a reason why they don't.

    Yeah you're right that is most likely the reason. Could get ugly with kicking going on and players lying on the ice, may see the first death in the NHL.

    To me Horcoffs goal looks he is aware of what he is doing with that small "kicking move" with his skate. And Sedin is just avoiding to ram the goalie and gets lucky
