So you think you should be able to punch it in with your glove, as long as you’re holding the stick at the time? Doesn’t make sense, at least by the current rules.

No, if you make an attempt to hit it in with your hand then it shouldn’t count. But if you are in a situation where you are trying to hit the puck in with your stick and it happens to hit your hand, goal counts.
It’s a total judgement call by the officials and no less convoluted than any of the other rules in the NHL book.
