Broadcasting
In the United States, this was the first year that Fox broadcast the Stanley Cup Finals. Fox broadcast Games 1 and 4, while ESPN had Games 2 and 3.
Because the Devils swept the Red Wings and Game 4 of the series was on Fox, their television play-by-play announcer, Mike Emrick, called the win, alongside John Davidson, as they both were the lead broadcast team. That game, the first Stanley Cup clinching game to air on network television in the United States since Game 6 in 1980, drew a 4.7 rating and a 10 share. In the New York City area, the game drew a 10.6 rating and 21 share and in Detroit, 14.1 and 26.
In Canada, Bob Cole and Harry Neale were in the broadcast booth as usual.

“We spend all day broadcasting on the radio and TV telling people back home what’s happening here. And we learn what’s happening here by spending all day monitoring the radio and TV broadcasts from back home.”
