We are playing soooooo much smarter in OT this year.
Learned to accept when a play just isn't there and hold on to the puck to just keep possession.
He played under Torch just weeks after playing under Yeo. You can't tell me that he suddenly improved his skating in a matter of weeks.
Gabriel at the time - playing under Torch - said he was playing with more confidence because of the trust he felt from the coaching staff.
It was the mindset he had with the coach. Yeo was notoriously rough on the young players and that was just another example.
Yeah, sure... just ignore the evidence all you want...
You have zero evidence that Gabriel is faster now. Only opinion.
