Agreed. Brodziak should have been called for that one. But to be fair, the Hawks shouldn't have gotten a 4 minute powerplay in the first place. Reffing was once again bad last night, but the missed/bad calls didn't favor one team over the other.

I was at the game, and it was really strange with us getting a 4 minute penalty.
Then today, Sobotka was fined the maximum amount allowable by the CBA for high sticking Patrick Sharp. Did anyone see it? I am assuming that he was bleeding since he got a double minor, but I didn't see the ref calling a penalty until after the scrum from another Hawk attacking him. At first I thought that Sobotka got his stick up/crosschecked/etc the player going after him at the start of the scrum, but the NHL fine stated it was for high sticking Sharp.
Overall, that was a great game by the Blues. Allen wasn't tested much in the first 50 minutes, but played really well when the Hawks finally pushed back.
