Is Razor (Darryl Reaugh) the best color commentator?

[Troy McClure]

I can’t believe some of the absolute slander I’m seeing on here. Razor is fantastic. Y’all won’t just won’t understand until he retires I guess

I think fans became disillusioned with his positive spin during some really bad seasons.

I’m still a big fan. I’m very glad his back to color. Play by play was a bad fit for him.

For me, it's Ray Ferraro. He is the perfect mix of knowledgable, passionate, and well spoken.

no stars feed....stars vs preds only on NBC..... ugh, she is horrible, that voice can cut through glass

 

[KapG]

Ferraro is my guy.

I have to listen to Craig Simpson for leafs games. He’s puke worthy

 

[txpd]

Umm....no. I can think of several that I think are better. Eddie O. Brian Engblom.

 

[ElGuapo]

Yeah he's the best color man in sports for me. Absolutely hated him as a PBP guy. Glad he's back in the other seat. This is one of my favorite analyses of his-

He was hit by a man-mountain of muscle!

Razor is also the only colourman I've ever heard to describe a player splitting the defense as akin to "poop through a diarrhea infected goose". Might not have been those exact words, but close enough.

Fixed that.

Razor used to be much better as Ralph's color guy. As a PBP guy he was horrendous. As Bogorad's color, he just doesn't have the same mojo. I think a lot of fans here (rightfully) soured on him during this season when things weren't good on the ice. Instead of being the unbiased guy he was with Ralph and calling things as he saw them, he turned into a shill for Lites, Nill, and Co.

I can see how easy it'd be to lose your mojo working beside Bogorad. That guy is awful. Biased, comes across as cocky and has an extremely punchable face. Can't wait for him to be gone.

Might be in the minority but I think he's solid. Nice guy, likeable, and more than serviceable at calling games, which is more than can be said for most play-by-play guys in the league. He doesn't seem cocky at all and I don't care anything about his face.

Not sure where you came up with this. Bogorad is probably the nicest person I've met within the Stars organization. Just a great guy that is always up for a conversation at practices or wherever you see him. Really great guy

Razor is the one that's likely an ass if you ask me. Probably difficult to work with because he comes across as a know-it-all. I've met him once and he was nice tho so idk it's only one time but still

 

[The Safe Play]

Ferraro for me too. Cuthbert and Ferraro are the dream team.

 

[Simpleheart]

Ferraro for me too. Cuthbert and Ferraro are the dream team.

CBC olympics every 2 years, cue Cuthbert getting rolled out. legend.
Ferraro is amazing.

Wrong on all counts.

I think we are a bit jaded about his bias because most of those seasons he worked with Ralph the Stars were a playoff team.

I just saw this now and it made me laugh. I love this guy for the Wings



Oh god, are you serious. lol

Ferraro is great. He doesnt mess around and you never get a sense that he favours one team over another.

 

[byrone12]

Darryl Reaugh and Louie DeBrusk are my favourites

 

[Sam Spade]

This thread makes me miss Dave Strader.

I would actually watch Stars games just to hear those two. Best tandem in the NHL for a decent amount of time.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's ridiculous and I love it.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

One of the worst in my opinion. Such a try hard.
