This is what it comes down to. The NHL is a business and they have determined it's in their best interest to have superstars do well in the playoffs.
The NHL is not some benevolent organization hell bent on having a fair contest. They want to make money and will do that however they see fit. In this case we get what was clearly a good goal called off, an obvious high stick which cut a player not called (which lead to the 2-1 goal) and media coverage that tows the company line.
