The puck has to be moving towards the net at all times, but referees almost never call it for small backwards movements.

By the rules, the puck has to keep moving forward, but not the player.  I haven't seen the play in question here, so I won't comment on the application of the rule in this case.

A penalty shot shall be handled as follows: As directed by the referee, the
player designated to take the penalty shot shall be announced by the public
address announcer. The referee then shall place the puck on the center
face-off spot and the player taking the shot shall, after the instruction of the
referee, play the puck from there and attempt to score on the goalkeeper.
Once the player taking the shot has touched the puck, it must be kept in
motion toward the opponent's goal line. When the puck is shot, the play
shall be considered complete. A goal cannot be scored on a rebound of any
kind, and any time the puck crosses the goal line the shot shall be considered
complete. Only a goalkeeper or alternate goalkeeper, as designated on
the official score sheet, may defend against a penalty shot.

Shouldn't that be "homely goofers?"
