This was the last Stanley Cup Finals in which either starting goalie wore the old-style fiberglass [[goalie mask|mask]]. Both Fuhr and the Flyers' [[Pelle Lindbergh]] wore the face-hugging mask, which was introduced in 1959 by [[Jacques Plante]]. The backups, Edmonton's [[Andy Moog]] and Philadelphia's [[Bob Froese]], wore the helmet-and-cage combination, similar to the one [[Billy Smith (ice hockey)|Billy Smith]] wore in leading the [[New York Islanders]] to four consecutive Cups from 1980 to 1983. [[1986 Stanley Cup Finals|The next year]], the [[Calgary Flames]]' [[Mike Vernon (ice hockey)|Mike Vernon]] sported a helmet-and-cage combo, and [[Montreal Canadiens]] rookie [[Patrick Roy]] wore a modern full fiberglass cage, the second goalie to sport that style in a Finals series after [[Gilles Meloche]] with the [[Minnesota North Stars]] in [[1981 Stanley Cup Finals|1981]]. Fuhr switched to a full fiberglass cage [[1985-86 Edmonton Oilers season|the next season]].
This was the first Stanley Cup Finals in which the [[NHL]] referee wore a helmet ([[Andy Van Hellemond]]). This occurred during Game 1.

Gretzky almost single-handedly won Edmonton the game. He scored twice within the first 90 seconds of the game, and finished off a hat trick by the end of the first period. Although the Oilers put only six shots on net over the final 40 minutes, it was enough to escape with a 4–3 win and 2–1 series lead.

==Broadcasting==
In Canada, this was the first of two consecutive years that the English-language rights of the Cup Finals
In the United States, this was the fifth and final season that the Cup Finals aired nationally on the [[NHL on USA|USA Network]]. Under the U.S. TV contracts that would take effect beginning next season, [[ESPN National Hockey Night|ESPN]] would take over as the NHL's American television partner. The USA Network would not air NHL games again until 2015
The USA Network's national coverage of the 1985 Cup Finals was blacked out in the Philadelphia area due to the local rights to Flyers games in that TV market. [[PRISM (TV network)|PRISM]] aired games one and two while [[WTXF]] aired games three, four, and five.
