The AudPod: Kitchener Rangers Podcast

Round 2, Game 2 Instant Reactions vs. the Soo GreyhoundsWell if this isn't the best hockey you're watching right now, we need to know what is. The AudBalls are back after a 13-goal slugfest that had everything: Sam O'Reilly completing the hat trick (plus two empty netters for good measure), Dylan Edwards potting the game winner, and Jared Woolley taking out the trash. Soo players chickened out of a fight, the refs were... there, and the third period was five Rangers goals of pure chaos. Rangers take it 8-5 and head to the Soo up 2-0 in the series.Follow us on⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcastWatch us on⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcast-kitchenerrangersWebsite | theaudpod.com Email | hello@theaudpod.com

Round 2, Game 1 Instant Reactions vs. the Soo GreyhoundsThe AudBalls called it, and Haeden Ellis delivered. Two goals, a first star nod, and a performance that had the Aud rocking on a Friday night. Justin and Andrew break down Ellis stepping into the spotlight, Alexander Bilecki quietly racking up two assists, and what was a genuinely great goaltending battle between Christian Kirsch and Carter George. The third period got heated, the rivalry is very real, and this series is going to be a lot of fun. Rangers take Game 1 three to one. Follow us on⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcastWatch us on⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠⁠ | @theaudpodcast-kitchenerrangersWebsite | theaudpod.com Email | hello@theaudpod.com

Round 1 is in the books. Round 2 is on deck.The AudBalls close the book on the Saginaw series and look ahead to what's coming: the Soo Greyhounds are headed to Kitchener for Round 2 after knocking off the London Knights in five games. Sure, London losing is always a good time, but losing in five instead of seven? Couldn't have given us a little more rest? Doesn't matter now. The boys get into everything you need to know about the matchup ahead, plus Andrew has some exciting non-hockey news: he's starring in a short film called "The Butchers" dropping this week. And if you missed the post-game reactions from Round 1, they're all collected right here at the end of the episode.

Instant Reactions to Game 4 vs. Saginaw, Series SweepJustin is serving a one-game suspension, so Andrew brings in Babs to handle the instant reaction duties. The AudBalls break down a 5-1 sweep-clinching win that had a violent, chippy tone throughout, highlighted by a dangerous hit on Pridham and an emotional kneeing call on Hlacar-izard. Dylan Edwards finally breaks through with two first-period goals after generating chances all series, and Shurygin gets his due credit for keeping earlier games respectable despite being badly outgunned. They also get into Saginaw's lack of real depth beyond Klepov and Barabanov, why closing out an overmatched opponent early is the right move for injury management, and what Pridham being held without a goal this series actually means when you look at his impact everywhere else. Plus a look ahead to what's waiting in round two.

Instant Reactions to Game 3 vs. SaginawCan we not just get an easy win? The AudBalls are back and unclenching after another game that did not feel certain, except for when you looked at the shot clock. How do you dominate a game from start to finish and still end up in overtime? We get into the deep analytics of trying to score on Shurygin, the lesson learned about where NOT to shoot pucks at the end of the second period, and how this team keeps finding ways to make things interesting.

The AudBalls sit down with Kitchener Rangers General Manager Mike McKenzie for a wide-ranging conversation! Mike shares what it was like growing up around the rink with his father Bob McKenzie and how that shaped his path in hockey. He also breaks down his perspective on the NCAA agreement, what it's like to coach while serving as GM, the art of building a competitive roster within the OHL's age constraints, and the tough calls that come with it. Oh, and we finally answer the question everyone's been asking: do OHL GMs have a group chat?And we couldn't close out without the AudPodience!

No time for banter (except… all the banter). We break the format for a very special AudPod: game recaps, game previews, AND an interview with the one and only Hunter Brzustewicz (yes, that Hunter Brzustewicz). Recaps include: a 5-2 win over London where Sam O’Reilly basically did everything (even shorthanded, even empty net… relax), the Rangers’ 2000th franchise win vs Kingston (dominant second period, dominant everything), a massive 2–0 statement win in Ottawa in a full-on goalie duel, and a frustrating shootout loss in Peterborough where the Rangers outshot them hard but went 0-for-5 on the power play. We also hit the AudPod “curse” (Weston Cameron commits to UMass Amherst), preview a huge week vs Windsor and trips to Erie and Guelph (trap game alert + parking discourse returns), talk Jackson Parsons being back in the AHL, and shout out alumni Reid Valade lighting up U SPORTS with 48 points.
