In the United States, the first five games were syndicated by the Hughes Television Network. Hughes used CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada" feeds for the American coverage. Game 6 was televised in the United States by the CBS network, as a special edition of its "CBS Sports Spectacular" anthology series. Dan Kelly did the play-by-play for CBS for the first and third periods as well as overtime. Tim Ryan did play-by-play for the second period while Lou Nanne served as the color commentator throughout. This would be the last NHL game to air on U.S. network television until 1990, when the All-Star Game was televised on NBC. As of 2021, it is also the last Stanley Cup Final game to be played in the afternoon (earlier than 5:00 local time).
