Is there bad sex at that age?

Depends on the other person lol

 

[Zapp]

Sex is like pizza; even when it's bad, it's never that bad.

No speculation pls

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Sex is not like pizza when your dank snaps.

Anybody following Bischel? Rogle just won 7 straight playoff games and he seems to be getting top 4 minutes

Yep, I've caught most of his playoff games (at least parts of them). Bichsel's playing a primarily defensive defenseman role. I don't know the stats, but his pair always seems to be starting in the d-zone. He is their primary penalty-killer and doesn't get any PP time. They play an extremely passive/defensive system, so the d are expected to play way back whenever they expect a turnover will happen. So all that's to say he is not expected to contribute offensively and I've seen little to no offensive game from him (which I did when he was in Texas).

As for his play in the D-zone, he is extremely aggressive (almost to a fault), using his strength/size and stick to cause turnovers. He also makes a bunch of smart little plays to win a lot of his puck battles. In that respect (puck battles), he is very impressive. He also plays very mean, as he constantly crosschecks and finishes his hits hard. If any opposing player is around the crease after the whistle, he clears them out forcefully. That said, his over-aggression can cause him to lose his position on the ice. His positional awareness, to me, is his greatest weakness (even when he played in Texas). Nonetheless, he is very good defensively, which is why the coaching staff relies on him so heavily in defensive situations. He also makes a very good outlet pass (the best on his team IMO)

Anyway, I'm not a scout or anything but these are some of my observations watching him in the 7 playoff games.

Yeah. Pretty impressive turnaround for Rögle and Bichsel was part of that. They fired the Abbott twins shortly before Bichsel arrived I think. They somehow managed to sneak into pre playoffs, then eliminated Timra to qualify for the playoffs. So far so good but nobody expected them to beat Färjestad as well, let alone sweep them. Färjestad BK is the most prestigious and I believe also the most successful club in SHL history. They dominated the regular season but didn't stand a chance vs Rögle so that result is quite the upset. I guess we all expected Bichsel to be back in Texas at this point. Three assists so far for Bichsel in Rögle's playoff run.

Bichsel's 9th place team (out of 14) has now just swept the 2nd place team (and defending champs) in the semi-finals (after sweeping the 1st place team in the round before) and is now on the way to the finals. Pretty crazy... Bichsel once again played very well defensively.

It's crazy how much he's doing to avoid being in Texas.

He's going to win the league championship all to avoid having to play in the AHL, and he'll then go right to the World Championship where he can spend May in beautiful Prague. This dude is having the best 2024.

Bichsel had two assists in the deciding 4-2 win in game 4 as well.
