Yup, it has always been this way. We were very lucky in that the 80's Oilers were so good compared to the rest of the league they were able to repeatedly overcome the horribly biased refereeing in the playoffs back then. The Islanders, Flyers and Bruins all benefited and got away with lots of crap back but the Oilers still prevailed.
With McDavid I think it is even worse - the league is prepared to overlook just about anything to make sure a bigger market is successful. As for this year - I think they believed the Oilers would be a tougher challenge than the Jets for the makebeLeafs and we saw the result (see pics above).

I think the market thing is overblown. If the fix was really in, then you wouldn't have seen Edmonton land McDavid. You probably wouldn't have seen Pittsburgh land Crosby. We'd see a better product in games where Toronto and New York are playing because they'd be making sure the stars can play in those games.
That's not what's happening. Around the league, penalties have fallen and fallen and fallen since 2006 and the refs have allowed more and more and more grappling, interference, roughing after the whistle, etc. That's because that's what guys like Campbell think that people want to see - so they instruct the referees that that's how the game should be called. Across the board, not just against Edmonton.
Yes, Campbell is an idiot and also wanted preferential treatment for his son. He's just generally awful at his job, so it should come as no real surprise. But I don't think he's got a grand plan to get the Rangers and Toronto more Stanley Cups. If he does, well, he's even more incompetent than people give him credit for, because neither have won since he joined league management.
