Kind of reminds me of games with my friend (whatever sport)--I'm very competitive, and a pretty fast runner, but he angles me out in a way that forces me to keep running in circles, and when we both run in a straight line, he shows he can keep up wit me.
Gaunce showed some surprising speed on the forecheck. Crept up to unsuspecting defenders.
Derp is right in saying he read this 3 years ago (I shadowed these forums myself), but I think its more true now that he has worked on his speed a bit. Even though he has improved, he still plays a positional game. Sticks to his guns.
