The only thing that dragging a knee actually does is give you an idea of your lean angle, as far as "saving it" with your knee, none of us are that good. I prefer to skim my pucks with very little weight on them (that's why I like hard compound pucks). I have tried putting a lot of pressure on my puck and it just feels weird. Now as far as slowing you down, I highly doubt that any of us are to the point where the resistence of a kneepuck dragging is going to slow us down.
