Primarily, it was used to visually highlight the puck on-screen and display a trail when the puck was moving rapidly. STANLEY CUP FINALS Fox split coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals with ESPN . Game 1 of the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals was the first Finals game shown on network television since 1980 and the first in Prime Time since 1972 . Generally, Fox scheduled four of the seven games in odd-numbered years, three in even-numbered years. Games 1, 5, and 7 were usually scheduled to be televised by Fox; Games 4 and 6 by ESPN. However from 1995 to 1998 , the Finals were all four game sweeps; 1999 ended in six games. The consequence was that - except for 1995, when Fox did televise Game 4 - the decisive game was never on network television. Perhaps in recognition of this, Games 3-7 were always televised by ABC in the succeeding broadcast agreement between the NHL and ABC Sports / ESPN . Also, the NHL's current broadcast agreement calls for Games 1 and 2 to be televised by OLN and Games 3-7 by NBC . SEE ALSO
