I mean, if it's that obvious it should be very easy for the league to show all fans so we know exactly where this blatant kicking motion was.

That would be helpful if they could justify it in some way. I think it’s just incompetence. If the refs or league were trying to fix the series, there is no reason they couldn’t be less obvious and let the series go to game 7 at least.
That said, my impression of a kicking motion is exactly what happens when the puck is stuck in a scrum along the boards and everybody is hacking at it with sticks and skates trying to get it free.
