In 1996, Reaugh joined Stars' play-by-play announcerRalph Strangisto 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 Canadain addition to his role as the Dallas Stars color commentator.[3]

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".[4][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.

After the2014-15 season,Strangis left the Stars and was replaced byDave Strader.[5][6][7][8][9]The following summer, Strader was diagnosed with bile duct cancer and missed significant time to undergo treatment.[10]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).[11][12]This also coincided with the creation of "Podman Rush", apodcasthosted by Reaugh.[13]The podcast features exclusive interviews and analysis, and is deemed the official podcast of the Dallas Stars.
