Biografi
Karier awal
Strangis honed his play-by-play skills in Minnesota and Wisconsin, starting with his first paid-in radio job at the age of 16. He then worked on local Public-access television stations doing play by playing for various high school and sports colleges. Strangis is especially remembered for his broadcast from Bloomington Kennedy and Bloomington Jefferson high school hockey who appeared on Bloomington Educational Cable. Strangis's earliest national exposure was as a play-by-play man and a ring broadcaster for the American Wrestling Association at ESPN, where he worked with Lee Marshall, and then Eric Bischoff, in the period of ebbing of the promotion.
Although Strangis has many broadcast experiences, his experiment as a color commentator on the Minnesota North Stars radio network is a longshot; Other more famous sports announcers receive more time in the air during the audition process. Five potential candidates share the game as guest commentator along with Al Shaver, then vote from the Minnesota North Stars. Two more famous talents each take a period and then three long images separate the third, with Strangis going to survive. When Al Shaver was asked who he liked, he chose Strangis. Ralph shines in his audition, with the perfect ability to complement Shaver's game with insights from the players and his in-depth knowledge of the game. When the Star moved to Dallas in 1993, Shaver decided not to migrate south with the franchise and retire. After three seasons as a color commentator (in collaboration with Mike Fornes), Strangis migrates to a play-by-play mic, effectively reinforcing his status as "Voice of the Stars."
Ralph and Razor
In 1996 former NHL goalkeeper Daryl "Razor" Reaugh joined Strangis as a star color commentator, thus creating the popular duo "Ralph and Razor". Both reach the cult near in the city of Dallas, so much so that, although fan support and media market size Dallas can easily support separate radio and television broadcasting teams, Bintang chose to continue simulcasting the couple. In 2008, Star added the radio in the arena (at 97.5FM) allowing fans to have another chance to hear the popular team.
In a poll conducted by Dallas Morning News, his most famous phrase was voted the most memorable moment in Dallas's history. "Stomach scores! Yes! Yes! Yes! The stars win the Stanley Cup, the Stars win the Stanley Cup!"
