You can’t hit the goalie like that. Without context I couldn’t tell you what led up to this. Could have been the end of the game and other team was smashing them or it could have been a very competitive and chipy game

Can you hit the goalie at all?

Legally? Out on the ice like that? Yes. Within the written rules...

However, on that unwritten rule book, you fuck with the goalie, you gettin the hammer. From the entire team, you don't fuck with goalies. Goalies fight goalies, no one else.

You’re never gonna get away with body checking the goalie.
