The 'missed call' on Kucherov was iffy, even in slow motion it is hard to see why McAvoy fell. There was no visible contact with his feet, and the stick did not appear be what caused him to fall. Maybe Kucherov pushed him on the back. That's a hard call for either ref, one was way behind the play in the opposite corner and blocked by the net/goalie, the other at the blue line, with a poor line of sight. Clearly the both referees thought McAvoy fell of his own accord. I would have called a penalty, that was my first thought watching live at full speed, NHL played do not fall like that on their own.

I do not have a problem with the 'low' hit; the primary point of contact was the recipients hips, not the knees. Watch in slow motion, it looks clean to me, although it's unorthodox in the modern NHL, so it looks like a penalty.

I think the Bruins are done if Krug is out, and I'm pretty sure he's out for the playoffs. Actually if he's out for one game then his season is probably over.

Licking? Two games in a fair world. He's an indefensible skilled idiot. The incident with Komarov in Toronto was enough to merit a call from the league to the Bruins, this was way worse. Alas, I do not think there is a policy that covers his behavior. The closest would be Inciting an opponent into incurring a penalty - Rule 41(g). The Gross Misconduct rule would apply, but it has been removed from the rule-book. Supplementary discipline is structured for unsafe hits, although there is a 'General' category they could (and should) use.
