A goal does not count if it is sent into the goal from a stick raised above the height of the crossbar. A goal also does not count if it is kicked or thrown into the goal. A goal that is accidentally redirected off a player does count, but if it enters the net directly after touching an official, it does not count. If the goalie is impeded from preventing the goal by an attacking player, the goal does not count. A goal can also be disallowed if the scoring team had too many men on ice at the time of the goal or if it was scored with a broken stick.

It depends. You see, if the puck goes off the player's skate and into the net - it counts. However, if the officials rule that there was a "deliberate" kicking motion
Any puck that enters the goal without a "deliberate" kicking motion should count as a goal. However, sometimes they get it wrong (see last nights Canucks vs. Avs game - Naslund didn't even KNOW where the puck was when it went in off his skate).
According to the NHL rulebook:
1) A kicked puck that deflects off the body of any player of either team (including the goalkeeper) shall be ruled no goal.
2) A kicked puck that deflects off the stick of any player (excluding the goalkeeper's stick) shall be ruled a goal. Any time the puck has been kicked, makes contact with any stick, and then deflects off any player (excluding the goalkeeper) into the net, it will be ruled as a good goal.
3) A goal will be allowed when an attacking player kicks the puck and the puck deflects off his own stick and then into the net.
So basically it all comes down to whether or not the goal officials believe the kicking motion was "deliberate" or not.

No. The puck can deflect off the skate. The goal would not count if it was kicked in.

If a goal comes off a skate it is a goal unless the offensive player used a kicking motion. You are allowed to strategically place your skate on the ice in order for the puck to rebound off of it.

Just to add to Cameron's answer, Leafs' Antropov (THE most useless player after Aki Berg) used his skate to deflect the puck into the net against Atlanta last week. It was ruled a goal because he didn't use a kicking motion, and he was being pushed into the net by a Thrasher while he was trying to stop.

no it does not. Any kicking motion with the skate and the puck goes in it will not count. If it is deflected off of the skate with no kicking motion it will count

Not if there is a distinct kicking motion. In other words if it is truly KICKED in then NO. If it is the guy going at the net and it goes in front of his skate and "kicked" in then yeah it counts.

That is the referee's decision upon review. If he thinks that the player tried to kick the puck in...then NO goal. but if it accidentally deflected off of the skate...then it is a goal.

No, not if it is intentionally kicked in. It can be deflected in off a players skate and count.
