It'd be helpful for us if that was all that was required, but the definition specifically mentions propulsion towards the net. Since O'Connor didn't give the puck forward momentum towards the net, it probably doesn't meet that criterion.

37.4 Distinct Kicking Motion – Plays that involve a puck entering the net
as a direct result of a “distinct kicking motion” shall be ruled NO
GOAL. A “distinct kicking motion,” for purposes of Video Review, is
one where the video makes clear that an attacking Player has
deliberately propelled the puck with a kick of his foot or skate and
the puck subsequently enters the net. A goal cannot be scored on a
play where an attacking Player propels the puck with his skate into the
net (even by means of a subsequent deflection off of another Player)
using a “distinct kicking motion.” A goal also cannot be scored on a
play where an attacking Player kicks any equipment (stick, glove,
helmet, etc.) at the puck, including kicking the blade of his own stick,
causing the puck to cross the goal line. A puck that deflects into the
net off an attacking Player’s skate who does not use a “distinct kicking
motion” shall be ruled a GOAL. A puck that is directed into the net by
an attacking Players’ skate shall also be ruled a GOAL, as long
as no “distinct kicking motion” is evident. (See also Rule 49.2)

Hockey is generally played with the skates on the ice. Soccer is played with feet in the air directing stuff to the goal. It looked to me like a kicking motion. Not a hockey play.

Atkinson = black hole

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Have I ever told anyone that I hate Cam Atkinson?

 

[tinycars]

[CanadianFlyer88]

Beautiful goal with tired Flyers not moving their feet. Damn.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Avs have 3 guys,
That are amazing.

 

[Cody Webster]

Risto covering no one

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Amazing what having one timer options on the PP can open up.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Teams like Avs Farabee can’t miss free goals

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Dominant period and down 2-0. Oh well.

 

[tinycars]

Poopoo peepee doodoo caca

 

[BigToe]

[CanadianFlyer88]

Teams like Avs Farabee can’t miss free goals

[Alex K]

Feels like the 1st period against Montreal

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Dominant period and down 2-0. Oh well.

You're going up against all-star Alexander Georgiev.

*sarcasm, George sucks*

 

[BritainStix]

We're 2-0 down to a kicked in goal and a PP goal after totally dominating the period.

Farabee has to bury that empty netter after an unreal pass from Frost.

 

[VladDrag]

Yeah, that miss stings.

That pass was so sick, too.

Good period, shame they didn't convert on any chances. Hopefully, they don't slump, but they have not really done that all year.
