Depending what you are doing, if you are smart enough you don’t necessarily need to stoop to relying on physicality
Which is a great quote, but it gets massively overplayed.

Generally, players don't get stupider by playing at a higher tempo. Playing faster puts pressure on the other team, which, if anything, puts more pressure on their hockey IQ, as opposed to the aggressors'.

Playing with more pace in all aspects is a good thing. And a necessary thing, to be successful.
