Its something I wondered about as well, Jussi Jokinen in particular seems to violate this rule frequently.
That said, 'braking' is certainly allowed, and in Blake's goal his momentum still carried him into the goalie - so technically speaking he didn't reverse his forward momentum completely.
i thought there was a forward momentum rule in shootouts that once you stopped moving forward your attempt was over?
