Moving your foot forward and having the puck bounce off it, is a whole lot different than kicking at the puck. It's not like his foot was moving right to left. Nor was his foot pointing directly toward the puck in a kicking motion.
Where I work, there is a ping pong table in the lunch-room. His action looked to me like he was attempting to corral the puck (or a ping pong ball,) not like he was kicking it.
