Daryl Kevin "Razor" Reaugh (English:/ˈreɪ/RAY; born February 13, 1965) is a retired professionalice hockeygoaltender and now a broadcaster for theDallas Stars of theNational Hockey League (NHL),NHL on NBC, andHockey Night in Canada. He played 27 games in the NHL for theEdmonton Oilers andHartford Whalers between 1985 and 1991.
Reaugh played for theKamloops Blazers of theWestern Hockey League where he was anAll-Star goaltender. In the1984 NHL Entry Draft theEdmonton Oilers selected Reaugh with the 42nd pick. He played 7 games with the Oilers but spent the majority of his six years in the organization in theAmerican Hockey League. He has aStanley Cup ring and is included in the1988 Edmonton Oilers team pictures. Reaugh dressed for 60 games, but since he only played 6 games, during the 1987-88 season, his name is not engraved on the Stanley Cup. Reaugh played inFinland'sSM-liiga during the 1988–89 season.
Reaugh joined theHartford Whalers in1990 and played over 1000 minutes, posting a 7–7–1 record and a 3.15goals against average. His season was cut short after an injury sustained in his 20th appearance. While playing a puck in net, a skate from one of the other players on the ice ran over Reaugh's glove, severely cutting his hand. A hamstring injury would make the 1993–94 season with theDayton Bombers of theECHL his last, cutting his promising career short at the age of 28.
Prior to his work with the Stars, Reaugh first appeared as a regular in 1991 on theAmerican Hockey League-produced weekly seriesRinkside, partnered with fellow goaltenderJim Ralph, and was also acolor commentator for theHartford Whalers during the1995–96 NHL season. Reaugh has also done work withABC,ESPN,Fox,Versus, andNBC broadcasts of regular season and playoff NHL games, and provided the color commentary in theEA Sportsvideo gamesNHL '98 andNHL '99.
In 1996, Reaugh joined Stars' play-by-play announcerRalph Strangis to form the highly popular "Ralph and Razor" duo. In August 2012, Ralph and Razor were ranked the #1 broadcasting duo in the NHL by hockeybuzz.com.[1][2]
Starting with the2011–12 NHL season, Reaugh began to broadcast Western Conference games onHockey Night in Canada in addition to his role as the Dallas Stars color commentator.[3]
After the2014-15 season, Strangis left the Stars and was replaced byDave Strader.[4][5][6][7][8] The following summer, Strader was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and missed significant time to undergo treatment.[9] The Stars decided to promote him as the permanent play-by-play announcer when Strader died on October 1, 2017, partnering with former Stars defensemanCraig Ludwig.
Starting with the2018-19 season, Reaugh returned to the color commentary role, teaming up with play-by-play man Josh Bogorad (previously a host on the team's pregame, postgame, and intermission coverage).[10][11] This also coincided with the creation of "Podman Rush", apodcast hosted by Reaugh.[12] The podcast features exclusive interviews and analysis, and is deemed the official podcast of the Dallas Stars.
As the Stars' color commentator he is known for his deep vocabulary of descriptive words that he uses with almost comedic timing, known affectionately to some as "Razorisms".[13][2] His most frequently-used words include "larceny," used when a goalie makes a spectacular save, "mastodonic," used to describe a play of huge significance during a game, and "nectarous," when he finds a piece of play to be particularly exciting or worthy of recognition.
Reaugh spent a number of years growing up inPrince George, BC. He is also the brother-in-law of former NHL playerBrendan Morrison (their wives are sisters). Reaugh also has two daughters.[14] Reaugh is widely known to drink three glasses of milk each day.
