I don't think Will or I played NHL 20, so NHL 21 is my first exposure to the new pbp announcer in-game.

James Cybulski is quite likely THE most painful announcer I've ever heard do a major league sport. He's not minor league, he's not parody, he's nails on a chalkboard while strangling a cat.

Christalmighty, I feel sorry for anyone living in Vancouver (where he's apparently a morning radio host).

edit: I think I may have it figured out. He's like hearing Will Ferrell do an over the top intentionally bad hockey announcer in an SNL skit. Joe Piscopo would have been a better choice.

edit2: Were the announcers from the Backyard Sports series not available?
