Instant Reactions to Round 2, Game 5 vs. the Soo Greyhounds

Game, Set, Match: Rangers. The Rangers may have allowed an early goal, but after that it was all Rangers. Cameron Arquette continued the depth scoring trend, while Jared Woolley scored his first and Sam O'Reilly risked his peanuts to ice it. The Aud was rocking like the best barn in junior hockey and the fans let the officials hear it for their calls and non-calls: including something you never see (for good reason), an icing call on a penalty kill. Christian Kirsch put the doubters to bed by outdueling the incredible Carter George.

Instant Reactions to Round 2, Game 3 vs. the Soo Greyhounds

Hlacar had a score to settle from Game 2, Bilecki might just be the best passer on this team, and Dylan Edwards had a casual hat trick that the announcers apparently forgot to mention. The AudBalls are back after another absolutely electric game, the refs are making up rules, and the Kitchener Rangers stay undefeated and take a 3-0 series stranglehold on the Soo.

Round 2, Game 2 Instant Reactions vs. the Soo Greyhounds

Well 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.

Round 2, Game 1 Instant Reactions vs. the Soo Greyhounds

The 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.

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. The Road to the Robertson rolls on.

Instant Reactions to Game 4 vs. Saginaw, Series Sweep

Justin 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. Road to the Robertson rolls on.
