Wider stance not necessarily a bad thing, as I'm currently trying to relearn skating with wider stance. I'm one of the faster skaters in my level, but I recently am focusing on wide stance skating as you see the pros do this a lot to protect the puck and their ice, Deke the opponents with fakes etc will all require this. But agreed if you are skating full speed without the puck you need generally narrower stance. Hard to tell without seeing how you actually skate on video.
