C'mon man, you didn't prove anything. From my experiences and from all your posted videos there is an evidence that it slows you down. Just watch your own videos. What are you talking about?
"There absolutely are times as a defender that you're going to match the direction of the puck carrier in order to execute an affective action. " - yes, I fully agree, this is correct, BUT what I wanted to say is, that in NHL25 you have to do it too way often, much more then in previous years. That was the point.

What are you talking about? I posted GIFs literally showing me extending my stick without slowing down. Maybe take a closer look.

This has more to do with the level of competition you're facing and your neutral zone play than it does with 'the game'.
So many people disregard how O-Zone turnovers and your neutral zone setup directly impact the speed of a puck carrier as they enter your zone.
People hardly describe adjustments in those areas and insist it's "handicapping defense". The people who think defending is handicapped versus offense really need to look at all elements that go into how a play develops.
