I'd say MLB 2K is still better overall than the NHL series, but that is Gary Thorne, too. He is one of the very, very few real broadcasters that don't sound horrible when they record for games. And the MLB2K commentary is nearly as good the NBA2K game.

I suspect the direction he's had at 2K benefits the NHL game. 2K has had excellent commentary since NFL2K. I think part of what helps is that it seems like a portion is recorded with both guys present at the same time. Everything else sounds stilted because it is just lines.
