The Blais hit should have had him suspended. The Barbashev one I would say no, it looked as if Barbashev was trying to avoid contact but couldn't.
Don't think it is by any means trying to even things out. Even if they were trying to do that, a couple of suspensions on bottom 6 players is not even remotely close to evening out the playing field of an OT goal. That costed the Blues a game. If that call isn't made and the Blues score the OT winner in game 3, they are already onto the Stanley Cup Finals.
